Rob_P Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hi. I have about 600m of field boundary (mainly hedge with stock fence) that runs under overhead electricity cables (utility pole, not the big metal pylons). I’m guessing it’s too dangerous to use a post driver anywhere near the electricity to get my deer fencing in? We’ve all but binnned the idea. Any comments?

Andy Ward Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi If the wires are vertical - low voltage, you need to be a minimum of 1m away If they are horizontal - 11kva or 33 kva you need to be a minimum of 3m away If working under the wires the machinery needs to be restricted to stop before reaching the limits we managed to shorten the rope on the vector knocker to stop it reaching the 3m limit, dont think it would reach the top of a deer stake we wern't allowed to work under the wires in rain ,fog,or mist Hope this is usefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
