This transformer is on my local housing estate, basically there is a wire (not sure if insulated), within easy touching of the fence. there's lots of kids playing round this area and im worried someone might injured/killed. the wire looks a biy like the size of a seatbelt.

could this be dangerous if touched or do you think it will be insulated.
 
Without seeing it, it is hard to comment, but a call to the local electricity company wouldn't go a miss, better safe than sorry. If you look around this transformer there should be a phone number somewhere, if not, then i would inform local police, and let them do the calling for you, but dont dial 999.

101 is the new number to use for general police inquiries, regardless of where you are.

id do what anyone else would do,ring the leccy board not sign up to a forum..
ps..if your house is on fire dont ring a sparky,some people do..
 
I agree, DEFINITELY make the call... worst thing that could happen, the DNO waste an hour... Imagine how you'd feel if you ignored it and a kiddie was killed...
 
he doesnt care,thats why he posted over 11 hours ago and never bothered to look at the replies,the same as the many one post wonders
 
Hi thanks for replys: ive contacted northern powergrid by e-mail. i think it might be an earth starp as 1 of the posters has said above as i searched on google and it looks something of the like. ill see what reply i get

Most substations around here have a sign with a phone number on... pretty standard as far as i know... why didn't the OP just ring them?!
