Even in the US, the practice varies. There are
multidrop "pole pigs"
in the cities and suburbs. When one gets out into rural areas, there
is no uniform application. For example, at the point where my
driveway meets the main road, there is a large disconnect (circuit
breaker?) box that hooks up with the buried high-voltage
distribution. The HV then continues buried alongside my driveway
into my front yard, where there's a concrete pad-mounted transformer.
The 240 VAC then continues underground to the meter and my house.
On the other hand, the fellow across the road is
powered from a
conventional "pole pig" and aerial drop.
I guess you got lucky ... you have *The Power* for any *BIG IRON* that
you collect.
