Level42:

Don't stand too close to it when it happens, also for the bad fumes (formaldehyde !)

Here's a pic I took a couple of weeks ago while on holiday in the US (Massachusetts). I assume those things all the way up in the pole are transformers.


ChadTower:


They are step down transformers.  The voltage on those overhead lines is high enough to flash fry a person.  Those transformers step the voltage down right before it comes into your house.

Yeah, 110, 111, whatever it takes.
