Powerlines

I agree in principle but I just double checked my memory and just looked at my HT feed. It is only connected to the HT line and then drops down into a conduit and under ground for the ~800 feet to the pedistal mounted transformer. There is only the 1 connection at the pole. A friend of mine used to burry lines for the local phone company and has hit on occasion (when the locator screwed up) the 14KV drops and said all he ever finds is a single wire from the result. He did say it is impressive when it gets shorted however. He has melted teeth off the backhoe bucket and his ears hurt for a while afterwords. It also works wonders on the ditch witch teeth and the vibrating plow blades. Even though the power drops are supposed to be a minimum of 3 feet down that is not always the case. Dan
