Saw a different situation today and wondering safety of installation. POCO neutral at service pole has jumper from connection to the service drop over to the guide wire for pole. No insulator on guide wire prior to reachable elevations. Anchor on pole is insulated at connecting point for the overhead, but this is bypassed by the jumper to the guide wire. Will get photo later but never saw such a thing. Xfer is one pole over and no primaries coming to this pole in question.
Is this normal installation? Is there a safety concern for voltage potential on the guide wire? Under normal or only extraordinary conditions?
