no......trans line are bare wireSorry, I don't understand electricity at all. Just by touching the limb to a line you get the juice jumping to it? I thought the line insulation prevented that.
Jay, if you don't understand electricity, do not climb any tree near a electrical line please. The juice from a live line can jump, I forget how far but it can jump. A simple pin hole in the insulation can cause death.Sorry, I don't understand electricity at all. Just by touching the limb to a line you get the juice jumping to it? I thought the line insulation prevented that.
What happens then? Man, I have to read up on this stuff.Touching two lines is what grounds and complete the circuit.
Is there a reason why they don't they insulate the high voltage lines?
thats it! load (the heat it can make)can make a line expand an contracted. no use to have insulation. plus if it hits the ground you wont it to blow the fuse.Yes ,it has to do with the laws of natural selection.
