The pole might get hot too from the current that goes through the fasteners but most of the heat would be in the screws and the fasteners and dissipate before it reaches the pole. Hardly any current will flow through the pole itself. permalink fedilink source parent [–] one_knight_scripting@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago* Theoretically, the building is ground and you only need to connect one cable.
