Pole.

Zoomup
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?

    under certain situations a pole can give real trouble,  luckily that sort of thing is rare.


    On a transformer there will be some current from the HV phase windings through the inter-winding capacitance that can be nanofarads.
