Power Line Cable Wire
Might be the wrong spot to ask this question but since I spend the majority of my time here I thougt I would ask anyway. A customer that I mow for has a newly built home. I noticed some powerlines down. Upon inspecting there is approximately 200-250 feet of very thick wire wrapped around trees and still tied to poles. The cables are very light and looks to be AL (I did a scratch test as well, not copper). Any idea about how much weight in that much wire? Any dangers involved?
-
Illegal to take it. If it is attached to the pole it belongs to electric company.

You don't want that wire anyway. Unless it has copper it will take a heck of a lot of it to make good cash.
-
Theres probably a single steel wire inside it anyway.

Usually a steel strand in centre like eesakiwi said. Also not worth stripping because alum and weighs next to nothing anyways.
