Hello:
Figured that this would be a good site to post my question.
Was looking up at all the poles in my neighborhood that carry power, cable,
etc., and was wondering a bit on how the power lines are configured.
Is this a 3 phase system on these residential street lines ?
From what I see, there are "usually" 3 lines on the upper part of the poles
which I'm reasonably sure are the power lines.
The upper, middle one, I'm guessing is a "high voltage" line.
Correct?
What voltage do they usually carry (residential area, street poles) ?
If so, where is the ground for it ?
What are the other 2 ?
Are they different phases (115 V each relative to some ground ?) after the
high
voltage is reduced via the periodic pole transformers ?
Rather than continue with these questions, might someone please explain how
this is all put together, please ?
Thanks,
Bob
