  • Patent number: 6400558
    Abstract: A line deadend structure and method for using the same are disclosed in which three phase power lines can be attached to a single pole at different elevational locations on the pole. The lines can be attached to switches and can each be arranged to extend downward along the single pole at various differently spaced locations about the periphery/circumference of the single pole. The wires can then be connected to an electrical mechanism, such as a circuit breaker or transformer, which is located on the ground or at a lower level than the original wire connection location on the single pole. Tap mechanisms and/or fuse mechanisms can also be located on the single pole and in connection with the three phase lines to provide electrical access to the lines and/or fusing operations, respectively.
