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?


Concerned of Peckham.

    Regards the pole earth, any voltage on it will almost certainly be the same as the voltage on all the earthed metal work in and around the house.


    But the young mum is more concerned about the stray Voltages roaming about on her lawn, under the pole,  near the end of run earth electrode, where her young children play bare footed.
