I'm familiar with this area and those lines are significant. Not your average tertiary lines on your street. These are significant distribution cables on 200'+ towers that run east from PA to dist centers in Bergen County.

"...These are significant distribution cables...."

You probably mean primary transmission cables in the order of 500,000 volts. These cables are not insulated because no amount of insulation would be of any use.

Distribution cables (the ones running down your street) are sometimes insulated; sometimes not- depending on the voltage.
