Two negotiators on this have advised me today that the only way to get

the pole is to have it removed. To me, that makes perfect sense.

Why not put up your own poles and install a wire parallel and close
to, but not touching, the power companies line.

You would then have free source of electricity due to induction.

It would seem you know very little about electrical engineering.....


How do you work that out? What we don't know is the voltage carried by
the
overhead wire, but unless it is the local 415/240 volt distribution to
the
houses, it will be at at least 3300 volts (though 3300 volt systems are
becoming rare). It is unlikely to be the local 415/240 volts because the
OP
refers to wires (plural). All the overhead 415/240 distribution systems
have been replaced with a single 4 core cables.

Bullshit. Try opening your eyes when you're driving around the
countryside.
There are *many* instances of 4/5 wire lv distribution systems. I drive
past some on a daily basis.


The fact that you drive past some doesn't make them universal. I said
"unlikely to be". I haven't seen a separate cabled 415/240 system for
nearly a decade but I don't doubt that some legacy installations still
exist.

I could drive to just about any part of the UK and find numerous examples
of 4 wire lv systems as distinct from abc. I would hazard a guess (better
informed than any guesses you might make) that something like 40% of the
total low voltage system has been converted to abc.


A cable rigged alongside
even a 3300 volt distribution will have a significant induced voltage

Will it? Surely that depends on several factors, such as the strength of
the electromagnetic field in the primary circuit, the physical separation
of the primary and secondary circuits and the length of common coupling. I
suggest you take a look at Faraday's Laws, and stop trying to bullshit
your
way on a subject that you don't know too much about.

Oh, and FWIW, 3.3kv has been an obsolescent standard for several decades.


'Obsolescent' doesn't mean 'doesn't exist' (in fact if they no longer
existed then they would be *obsolete*).

Thank you. I'm well aware of the distinction which is why I used the word.
That you had need to point out that distinction only shows you for the fool
you are.

There are still quite a few legacy
3300 volt systems around particularly in areas that still have 430/250 volt
systems.

Are there? How can you substantiate that claim?

There was even a 2200 volt system not far from me

So? I'm aware of 1.75kv, 2kv, 2.2kv, 2.75kv, 3kv, 3.3kv, 6.6kv to name but
a few. They are all obsolescent, some are by now obsolete, and accounted
for less than 1% of the total hv distribution network in the REC I used to
work for as far back as the 1970s/1980s. Oh, and before you try to point
out that was only one REC, they all produce functional statistics that are
aggregated and published. I've regularly used such books when I was
working. Have you?

The norm is 11kv for distribution, 22kv, 33kv, 66kv and 132kv for primary
distribution, and 275kv and 400kv for transmission.

Your use of an obsolescent voltage for illustration shows you have precious
little understanding of the electricity supply industry within the UK.
