Didnt happen here. We had the mains off for 3 hours to replace a couple
of power poles which have the 11KV distribution line on the top with the
4 wire 240/415 service below that.

That sound stupid, if the 11kV falls down you could get contact with the
240V and give someone a good shock.


Round here, where that occurs there is an earthed bare copper wire
above the 240/415 lines so that a breaker will blow before the
low voltage lines are hit.
