No question, electricity is an important, everyday part of
our lives, but it’s also extremely dangerous.
If you have a utility pole near your home, keep your distance! If a downed power line occurs nearby, never
approach the area. It’s amazing how
obvious this fact is, yet Americans die every year touching them.
Just what does a utility pole consist of –
1. Transmission
wires…they carry electricity at up to 500 kilovolts
2. Communication
lines…used for cable tv, telephones, etc.
3. Distribution
wires…they carry the power to your home
4. Transformer…this
metal cannister converts high voltage to low voltage
Look, it’s okay to be curious. I am curious about lions, but I wouldn’t jump
into their habitat at the Albuquerque zoo and feed one! Whenever you see a downed power line call us
immediately to fix the problem. We are
Daylight Electric and Appliance serving all of Belen and the ABQ area. That phone number for any electrical problem
is (505) 864-3980.
