At the 12kV distribtion line voltage level what are the issues with installing an at grade switch operator handle. I unstood that the operator connecting mechanism is a fiberglass pole UL rated for the purpose and that the operator handle would not be bonded to the pole ground which connects to a ground rod. (No ground mat required until the 115kV level unless plant or environmental conditions dictate otherwise.)
I've seen some installs where the handle is bonded to ground.
