11kV Overheads and Water Spray.

Zoomup

You a are farmer. You have potato fields that need watering due to the lack of rain and the hot weather. You tow your water sprayer trailer out to the potato field and connect up the pipes. The water can be mains or deep bore hole sourced. The spray is very high pressure and reaches a great height. In fact it reached the 11kV overhead cables that run across your field.

Is there any danger?

Here is a static system, but yours is mobile on a tyred trailer. It does though show the height of the sprays.

    There was a guy locally who sold storage silos for farms, he used to take one of them to local agricultural shows on the back of a tipping wagonas a display, he would drive onto the showground and part tip the wagon, then reverse and slam the brakes on allowing the silo to slide off the back and stand itself up.

    Which worked well until the day he did it under HV power lines then climbed out of his wagon.
