The wires that carry electricity are not in contact with the poles, isolated by insulated "bell" spacers and by physical separation.
The poles are conductive, as evidenced by lightning hitting them. But they are well grounded and sturdy enough to withstand the strikes. However, a bolt can create inductance that temporarily affects the current flowing through the wires.

Is metal a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
No, a metal is an excellent conductor of electricity.
What metal has to be obtained using electricity?
It is used as a way for electrons to travel. The presure of the electrons on each other gives you the voltage, and the speed at wich they travel gives you the current.
How much electricity can metal conduct?
It depends on the type of metal. The ability of a metal to conduct electricity is one trait that identifies a metal. For example, copper can conduct electricity very well (better than most metals).
Which non metal can slightly conduct electricity?
Carbon can conduct electricity reasonably well and is a non-metal.
Which material is malleable and conducts electricity wood ice metal or oil?
Metal is the material that is malleable and conducts electricity.
What does electricity travel through?
Electricity can travel throughout freely moving Electrons, like in metal which is in wires under the rubber.
Do scissors conduct electricity?
Because electricity will travel through almost everything but wood, rubber, and a few more. Scissors have metal in them, and that is the thing that electricity loves to travel through.
Why plastic is not a good conductor?
Because electricity can only travel through metal.
Can electricity travel through a wrench?
If the wrench is made of metal, which almost all are, the answer is yes.
Why is it possible for electricity to travel through metal?
Metal is a conductor. What this means is that it has a very low resistance to electricity, allowing the electricity to flow through it. I suggest you learn how electricity works first to understand how electricity can flow through objects. http://millerwelds.com/education/basicelec/
Why does sodium conduct electricity but sodium chloride doesnt?
Sodium is a metal having free electrons; solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
What is an example of conductors and insulators?
conductors are thing that electricity travels through, metal insulators are things electricity does not travel through, dry wood, paper, plastic.
Does solid chlorine conduct electricity?
no it doesnt because chlorine is a non metal so it wont conduct an sort of commnicatio especially electriciaty.
Does electricity make metal?
Electricity doesn't make metal. Since electricity only travels through it.
What materials conduct electricity the best metal plastic or wood?
metal conducts electricity the best
What conducts electricity other than metal?
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
Can electricity flow through metal?
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
