Electrical Distribution Poles: Best solution for electric Pole

One of the most important means of survival of modern civilization is electricity. Though we see many electric distribution poles along streets and roads, we hardly stop to look at them closely or wonder how they supply power to our homes and offices. Electric distribution poles can be an exciting topic. The function of these electric poles is to distribute electricity through the local substation to homes and workplaces in the area. An electric pole can accommodate both transmission and electric distribution wires. Utility poles used in electricity distribution can be made of metal, wood, concrete, or composites like fiberglass. These are used in carrying two types of power lines: sub-transmission lines, which transfer higher voltage power between substations, and distribution lines, which allocate lower voltage power to people/customers.

Some basic equipment that an Electrical distribution pole carries are:-

1. Primary Wires
2. Lightning Arrestors
3. Cut-Outs
4. Transformers
5. Neutral Wires
6. Secondary Wires
7. Phone and Cable Wires
8. Copper Grounds
9. Guy Wires

 

Some safety hazards that electrical distribution poles can cause:

• Electricity never goes off, so if a wire falls or breaks down, the electricity still keeps looking for a way to ground, so avoid all fallen wires. Do not touch any wire under any circumstances. Remember that electric wires aren’t insulated like those power cords used for home appliances.
• Always be conscious of the presence of overhead lines and keep TV antennas, ladders, gardening equipment, satellite dishes, and any other equipment at a distance from them.
• Do not step out of the car If it comes in contact with a utility pole or wire. Call 911 and warn others to stay away from your vehicle. An untrained person should never attempt to fix a leaning electric pole, as it can be hazardous.
