Hi Joseph, Yes, according to you, it's a power cable.
We don't use the same tags: the first got voltage=200000000000 while the second got voltage=220 All the best *François Lacombe* fl dot infosreseaux At gmail dot com www.infos-reseaux.com @InfosReseaux <http://www.twitter.com/InfosReseaux> Le lun. 15 oct. 2018 à 00:05, Joseph Eisenberg <joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com> a écrit : > What about the 2 insulated wires that attach my house to the nearest power > pole?
