    Hi Bill,

    Thank you for your response. Very interesting regarding the Police and private investigators. We have a couple of police officers actively involved in MainPower area copper theft incidents. They have identified persons and items of interest that are consistent with what has been stolen from MainPower’s network.

    Yesterday, we had our first reported case of DO fuse solid links stolen from an open point pole. Common approach has been to leave solid links hanging on the pole at about half pole height.

    MainPower would be interested in the WEL design utilising steel rope for the down lead. Please email a me copy.

    Regards

    Stephen
