If the branch is shorting the primary to ground, then why isn't the branch on fire?

as a tree removal company i don't touch anything around powerlines. the electric company is responsible for keeping the power lines clear of tree branches

if you don't believe me, look up electric detectors. they are detectors that can detect electrical current and objects.

In the 80's we had Billy Smith, "Tree climbing expert" and he told us "That if you touch a power line, or your weight makes a branch touch a line, that electricity can come right to you! and that can hurt, it may even kill you" so...we know.😂

I took a weed stem from the ground and laid it down onto an electric barbed-wire fence. That's how I learned to never do shit like that again.

Phase to Phase Ground to Phase and Path to Ground. Be safe out there. 3 ways it can take your life. Also never touch a tree that touching the primary most times the top wire. I used to trim burning trees away from the power lines. Either they got skip getting trim back or they was afraid to trim them. When you're power flicker it's because a limb keeps hitting the primary

I'd say she's a little hot I know that sound I remember that sound I will never forget that sound. The best one was tackling a punk ass kid who is getting ready to climb up a telephone pole in the middle of nowhere that was buzzing like a hornet's nest The only problem was there were no bugs around
