Pole.

I am asking this on behalf of a friend. A young mum with toddlers that use the back lawn is concerned about the pole. The overhead supply comes in on A.B.C. cables and the pole being the last in the run has an earth electrode at its base. The pole is situated in a boundary hedge and the toddlers, over bare footed on the ground, can walk with 0.5 metres of the earth rod.


Are there any safety concerns here please?


Concerned of Peckham.

  • With a single phase transformer (as per the local cemetery one) connected across two 11 kV overhead lines, would there normally be much current flow to earth due to the capacitance of the HV windings to the earthed tank?
