[QUOTE="Kevinho, post: 458125, member: 29827"] basically 11kv comes down the lines that run along the hedge line to the transformer and then 240v drops down to the transformer to run underground to a pole at the roadside that then takes it down the street to ~20 houses. The proposed move would take the transformer up to the next 11kv pole and drop the 240v down there instead. I presume the work involved is: [LIST][*]Shorten the 11kv lines back to previous pole [*]Plant another pole (current transformer sits on two poles) [*]Dig trench from that pole down to the original site [*]run 240v cable down trench and connect to original 240v line [/LIST] Distance for trenching is 35m. Cost assumes that I dig the trench for them. For amusement - below is a game of spot-the-transformer [ATTACH]9016._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
