It gets even better!!
After I sent my comment on this thread to Scott35 yesterday, I took a walk down the alley to the pole I describe above. And what to my wondering eyes should appear but the absence of the bottom five feet of the ground wire!!!
The end of the ground wire is oxidized black, which, to me, means the cut end has had a LONG time to weather.
The xformer is a 50 KVA unit which, with an 8 KV primary voltage and 150 percent overload means the primary current is about 9.5 amps.
