I especially like the way that they hop the fence.
I sure hope that they told the lawn service not to mow that day.

Thanks for the pics!
If you want to add any comments....please do.
Which POCO? "FE" on the cone don't say much to me. I've never seen a 'temp' like that anywhere.

Even though the insulation is pretty tough, it looks like a liability nightmare. What did the temp feed, that was so important to get power in right away? Big $$$ customer, or life & safety?

That's pretty ridiculous.
Even when out transmission utility has open lines like that inside fenced substations they still mark and guard the heck out of them. What would've been wrong with stringing the length of that with "danger" signs of some sort? Warning ribbon isn't that expensive.
I especially like the totally unprotected lines in the road between the cones and the cover plate. That stuff is tough, but trucks are awfully heavy....

I do recall seeing that type of cable and I did used on 14 KV system without issue however laying top of the ground now that is tempting for trouble especaly if this cable is non conrated netural cable { most will have copper or steel wire warp around the cable } But once hevey truck hit it it don't take much to get it have heckva a big flashover .,,,  Merci,Marc

I have seen this once when the telco lost the u/g to the exchange that served my part of the city due to a water main break.
The temp feed was covered for two days with planking and barricades / warning tape for the couple hundred feet from the drop pole to the transformer.
This was over a city sidewalk and lawn so truck damage was not an issue.

Man, That is just slack IMO. I can't help but feel, that some sort of temporary poles could have been sunk for this circuit, to get it up out of the way. I mean, that is what electricity utilities do as their bread and butter isn't it? I just shook my head when I saw them wires laid over the top of that fence, it would have taken a few seconds to run them singles UNDER the fence. It's like someone just doesn't care.
