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?

    I'll go for a flippant remark since it's the weekend.


    Is there more of a risk in kids near 11 kV overheads growing up to become little *******s and throwing stones at the insulators until they break?


    You never did? Did you?


    Z.




    No ... but probably only because there are no overheads where I grew up.




    Yeh, we had to climb trees, go for bike rides or kick a tin can about as well.
