Overhead conductor spans are permitted to be supported by trees.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overhead conductor spans are generally not permitted to be supported by trees because trees can move in the wind, grow, or decay, which can lead to unreliable support and potential hazards such as electrical outages, fires, or electrocution risks. Electrical codes and standards typically require conductors to be supported by structures designed to withstand the environmental loads and provide reliable service.
