    Oh ok. See that, learned something new again. Looks like I need to adjust what I tell the customers.

    Ok forgive me for my ignorance. Are not all certified arborists qualified to work around power lines? In my day the two people I recommend the most are certified electricians and certified arborists.

    In my area our trimming around a service drop is not part of our maintenance. Services aren’t part of our right of way. For me to get the forestry dept to cut around a service the tree actually has to be touching the wire or impeding work to restore power. It’s otherwise up to the customer to...

    Pole numbers always help as long as the number provided matches the utility you are calling. In my area often times the telecommunications number is vertical and ours is horizontal. The telecommunications numbers don’t show up in our mapping. I’m sure that varies across the globe just an example...

    Amazing! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain. It helps to bridge the gap of my ignorance. It’s been mentioned that guys need to get educated in electrical hazards but it works both ways. If guys like me have a better understanding of how the tree guys approach power lines I can...

    This discussion has me very interested and curious. Minimum approach distance has made an appearance several times. I’ve always respected MAD but at least in my experience, MAD in the classroom is a bit different than in real life. Example, the MAD for most primary distribution voltages is ~2’...

    Yes. Good point. That’s a better way to say what I meant by asking the right people. This site is an absolute wealth of knowledge for everything trees. I’ve learned so much from you guys. However it’s not the place to learn distribution electrical systems.

    Tony, may I add ask questions to the appropriate people. If it’s power line, call the power company. Telecommunications lines call the cable or phone company. Unless working you need to work around those utilities is necessary to save someone’s life it can wait.

    Power company would probably want the branches off the 1/0 triplex secondaries anyway. Only a matter of time before the part power and flickering lights calls start rolling in.
