It's called a "rite-of-way". The troubleshooter/linemen need a safe distance to operate the equipment in the transformer. The transformers convert 7,200-14,100 volts(distribution voltage) to 120/240 volts(house voltage). When working on that kind voltage, the last thing I want to do is have foliage in my face or trip over a bush. If it is in the way, we would rip it out of the ground. Do you want electric or foliage?
