Re: [AFMUG] what is the typical wind load of an 80' telephone pole?

I wonder what the reasoning would be for that rule.  Is that a policy of 
your power company?

In this neck of the woods we definitely get meters installed on our own 
poles.


Also, you can't set a meter on the pole unless they retain ownership or 
you lease the pole as part of the service. The cost to run lines and/or 
transformers is on you as well. So plant your pole close to the 
existing grid.
