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.
MYX:
Yeah, 110, 111, whatever it takes.
