Choosing Overhead or Underground Power

If you’re looking for a clear-cut answer to the question of whether overhead power lines or underground power are better,.
Deciding between these options can be challenging. Let’s now explore both options to understand the reasons behind choosing between overhead powerline service cables and underground electrical systems.

Learning Overhead Powerline Cables:

An overhead service cable is made up of conductors that facilitate the flow of electricity. These cables, suspended from poles, can transport electrical energy over long distances. These cables are commonly seen running from the street network pole to a home or a private power pole, providing electricity.

Gaining Insight into the Consumer Mains Underground:

In the same way, an underground consumer mainly utilizes power from the street’s network. However, what sets it apart is that the cables are buried underground and connected to the meter box on your property. Underground electrical systems are essential in specific locations like new subdivisions, suburbs, and parts of Sydney’s CBD. These systems have the capability to provide either a single- or three-phase power supply.

Overhead vs. Underground Power

So, what’s the reason behind the overwhelming preference for overhead service cables in 93% of Australian households? One significant reason for the overwhelming preference for overhead service cables in 93% of Australian households is cost. Overhead service cables last longer than underground systems, offering great value for your investment. The visibility of overhead cables allows for easier and quicker identification and resolution of any issues.

On the other hand, overhead cables are susceptible to issues because they are exposed to external elements. Power outages may happen due to natural elements such as severe weather, falling trees, and lightning affecting overhead cables. Overhead cables may sometimes fall due to wildlife and accidents, such as car collisions.
