"It was first developed in New Zealand around 1925 for rural electrification. It was often called "Mandeno's Clothesline". In Australia over 100,000 miles have been installed, but it has several drawbacks, when used in very dry soil where the ground rods don't have good contact. This will elevate the risk of electric shock where the current could be as high as eight amps. Iti is recommended that the ground rods be longer and deeper to help reduce the high current".
