Conductor 4 is simply ground. That's what theConductor #1 and #2 and #3 are easy to see on my power pole, but I do not see Conductor #4 anywhere.
First of all, posts #11 and #23 are yours, and second of all, they are the exact same! I don't see where your problem is. Things are fairly well explained in the diagrams, and what isn't has been explained by the members here.Then there is the possibility you do not have 3 phase running down your road, I know that I don't. In that case you would have 2 phases and a neutral.
In your photo in post #11 you show 5 conductors, and in #23 there are 3.You are showing 2 different photos and want one answer to fit both situations.
No, they're not all wired the same way, but the theory behind the wiring is universal. The diagram shows the general setup, and most real-world ones you'll find are closely related to the one I posted.So the question is: Are all electric power poles and transformers wired the same way?
Answer: No.
Any other questions?
Who, me? If I'm sounding like a troll, I am very sorry. There's nothing I hate more than trolls, and I am not intending to act like one. I do apologizeCan anyone say troll?
*Phew* I did realize I've been arguing a lot lately, so I was wondering if that was coming across as trolling....No. Not you.
Thanks shortbus There are a lot of definitions for trolls that I have run across. People who refuse help, argue for no reason, or pick just for the sake of picking are all forms of trolls. There are even more out there too. Some definitions:Derstrom, your NOT who I meant, your one of the good guys. Maybe I have the wrong idea of what a troll is. Always thought it was someone that refused any help no matter how many told them the same thing?
An e-mail message or posting on the Internet intended to provoke an indignant response in the reader
Deliberately posting false information in order to elicit responses from people who really want to help.
Deliberately and disingenuously posting
Inviting another person to state a general opinion or preference and then responding as if the opinion was offensive or a personal attack or affront. This is a way of setting up a Projective Identification.
