Good volts but low power output

I just looked at the big picture looking a the catinary wirer me thinks the hot or cold is wired to it ,holy f88K.BAT MAN .

the wire is looping in but comes out to the cat wire ,I might be wrong .

It appears (in UK terminology) that the two lives are insulated with a bare PEN conductor doubling as the catenary wire.

I'm thinking along those lines. That could be a bare aluminium conductor with a few steel cores to support it. The two cores looped around the support look a different material.

If you look close the two black overhead conductors pass straight into the building, the third is connected to the bare conductor.

Your wire is to small for what you are trying to do? I’m curious what size wire do you have going out to your building

Crew dog from looking at the picture of the wire feeding your building it appears to be done by someone not the power company, ( they don’t use split bolts ). It’s looks plenty big enough but is it copper or aluminum?

westward that Bare conductor does have 2 strands of hard steel, which is the grounded conductor, then we drive 2 rods in earth and bond that back to the main panel
