That you can not hang on the mains support, even if you really want to Bashny.Net

Quite rarely, one of us pays attention to the state of the poles of the power line near the house. They will say, “Well, they’re just worth what else to want.” They'll be wrong. It can be decided that the support of the normal functioning of electric supports is entrusted only to the shoulders of special services. But that's not exactly true. Now we will tell you what exactly can not be done, and what is necessary. Then the electric support will last for many years.



As they say, you will not believe, but there are several important requirements. They It will help to maintain the electric power in the appropriate condition. and avoid fines. And even in very large sizes. Yeah, that could be it, too. But now in order.



Manufacturers of reinforced concrete poles, which are used to install power lines, claim that their designs can last about 25 years. Wooden electropores, unfortunately, can not boast of such a long “life”, because they are more susceptible to various external factors (rain, snow, excessive heat or cold).

Perhaps the most important thing you can do if the support is located on your site or very close to it, is to maintain the nearby area in good condition. Do not allow the growth of a large number of weeds, unnecessary shrubs or trees. In the future They can affect the support. For example, when an old tree branch falls on a power line.

Important! Do not try to solve any problem with the power pole without the help of specialists! This applies to all types of breakdowns: branches of old trees, and cats that can climb a wooden pole. Repairmen before carrying out any types of work pre-disconnect a certain section of the power line from the network. They work safely. Don’t take risks or make mistakes that could hurt you or make things worse.



Birds like to build nests on high electric supports. Like storks. But now it is becoming more and more popular to install them man-made and safe houses. Specialists replace the nest of storks, until the birds have not yet returned from the warm edges, with a special metal structure. It lifts the birds higher above the power pole. This will protect both the feathered family and power lines from possible falls of branches and other bird “building materials”.

This also applies to man-made birdhouses on the pole of the power line. The electric support shall not be subjected to any external influence which would disturb the integrity of the reinforced concrete structure. Due to the appearance of many microcracks Electricity may be recognized as an emergency, Replacing it with special services will cost a penny.

Pay attention: lights and wires are attached to electric supports with the help of special clamps. They “snap” the pillar, not screw it in. Everything that needs to be attached or hung on a power line pole should be fixed on such clamps. This will help keep him safe and sound.

If you analyze in detail why there are such requirements for electropores, the conclusions will be quite obvious. Damaged electric support may simply not support the weight of the employee, who in the future will climb it for repair. And if it is later proved that the pillar is damaged due to the fault of the owner, then the whole The responsibility is automatically placed on his shoulders.

Microcracks in the pole can lead to corrosion of the reinforcement rod. The service life of such electropore is reduced significantly. It is also recognized as an emergency and requires urgent replacement. It is essential that such electrical support does not harm people or their property.



See if there's anything wrong with the electric poles near you. Do they need an urgent replacement?
