You have a problem there. You should have nothing moving through there.
You apparently have a problem with a open or very poor neutral, The only
flow of current should be through the neutral and the two power legs,
Current and any kind through the ground is a fault. That needs to be
addressed like yesterday,
Agreed- Fault may be located at the transformer/aerial feeder neutral
connections. The power people will need to evaluate this.
I can't imagine anyone using steel. Aluminum maybe, but not steel
A very common type of aerial feeder triplex uses AL phase conductors
with ACSR (aluminum conductor- steel reinforced) used for the bare
(neutral).
