Tautologicus posted:Are there power lines that are insulated and ones that are not? If it's outdoors and on a tall power pole and medium or high voltage, it's extremely unlikely that it's insulated. I've never heard of using insulated wires for that application. The two 120V wires coming down from a pole transformer to a home are insulated. For power distribution indoors at high voltages (like at a factory) you can get insulated and metal shielded cables, like with all three lines bundled together and shielded (triplexed) and with a heavy armored jacket on the outside. You would really think that firefighters would be aware of the risks involved with using a ladder in close proximity to overhead lines...

you irl posted:the ones that are suspended from those things that look like bad dragon dildos are uninsulated It's like Ball - they make mason jars for canning, and satellites. The ones in space. "Our company makes high voltage electrical insulators and unique artistic sculptures."
