### A lot of this stuff is dictated by the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC).

### Hello Ken: Thank you for developing this info... It looks like DOE wasn't too far off in assuming cost of $2000/per pole change out... The only other remaining question left that needs addressing is...

"When" does pole need to be changed? IE : What are "Engineering Rules/Limits" that result in pole change out... Once we know that, we/DOE can estimate change-out frequency... Thank you. Best Regards,

Mahesh

Richard and Committee: Attached is a spreadsheet showing the cost to replace an existing pole in a three-phase distribution circuit with an ex isting single-phase dist ribution transformer mounted on it. This information was developed to estimate the cost to replace an existing pole with a new, higher strength pole required because of the increased we ight of the distribution transformer. This estimate represents the cost to do this for my Cooperative. Other Utilities will be furnishi ng this information for their systems. Kenneth A.
