Which wires are used in the temporary electrical pole? What is the name of those 2 thick black wires? Can you, please, list all the stuffs needed in installing this pole?

[@s-carrshymahdi9003]

If you are talking about the feeder wires coming from the service drop, it will depend on the size service you are building; meaning if you are doing 100amp service for a residential project you will size the wire for 100amp. There are several different type of wire you can use. In this video we used THHN Alum. 1/0. 16 foot pressure treated 4x4 post 2x4x12 PT lumber 1.5" pvc pipe 1/0 ALU wire #2 ground bare copper Pre-built temporary meter base from home depot (overhead) hope that helped.

​@@Koumondji For 200amp you can use 4/0 AL. Its best to get an app that can calculate any wire ampacity or get an UGLY book.

Why would a temp pole be considered a commercial if it’s a residential property?

Where did I say that?
