Downed power lines and wires caused by a storm or motor vehicle accident creates danger for anyone who approaches. Keep everyone away and report it to us at 1-800-867-5222 or 9-1-1 immediately.

This page describes various types of utility electrical services and supply voltages. The nominal system supply voltages listed below can vary by 10% or more. WattNode meter models are available in seven different versions that cover the full range of electrical services types and voltages. The new WattNode Wide-Range Modbus covers 100-600 Vac, wye and delta, single-phase and three-phase with a single model. Meters and current transformers are designed for use on either 50 or 60 Hz systems.

Also known as an Edison system, split-phase or center-tapped neutral. This is the most common residential service in North America. Line 1 to neutral and Line 2 to neutral are used to power 120 volt lighting and plug loads. Line 1 to Line 2 is used to power 240 volt single phase loads such as a water heater, electric range, or air conditioner.

The most common commercial building electric service in North America is 120/208 volt wye, which is used to power 120 volt plug loads, lighting, and smaller HVAC systems. In larger facilities the voltage is 277/480 volt and used to power single phase 277 volt lighting and larger HVAC loads. In western Canada 347/600V is common.

Used primarily in industrial facilities to provide power for three-phase motor loads, and in utility power distribution applications. Nominal service voltages of 240, 400, 480, 600, and higher are typical.

Also known as a high-leg or wild-leg delta system. Used in older manufacturing facilities with mostly three-phase motor loads and some 120 volt single-phase lighting and plug loads. Similar to the Three Phase Three Wire Delta discussed above but with a center-tap on one of the transformer winding to create neutral for 120 volt single-phase loads. Motors are connected to phase A, B, and C, while single-phase loads are connected to either phase A or C and to neutral. Phase B, the high or wild leg, is not used as the voltage to neutral is 208 volt.

If you are near a downed power line or something touching a downed line, DO NOT WALK OR RUN. Why? Electricity travels through the ground in all directions. The voltage decreases the further you are away from the downed wire. If you walk or run, you could conduct electricity in one leg at one voltage into the other leg at another voltage. This could shock or kill you. Keep both feet on the ground and shuffle with your legs close together as you move away from the downed line.

If you absolutely have to get out, JUMP out of the vehicle without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time. Then shuffle with your legs close together to move away from the vehicle. If you have a young child or infant in the vehicle with you and you must get out, hold them tight to your body while you hop out of the vehicle. Do not touch the vehicle and the ground at the same time or you will become the electricity's path to the ground.

You own some of the equipment that brings electricity into your home (see graphic). If you have damage to the electric service lines coming into your home, you will need to have an electrician make repairs to your equipment first before contacting MGE to restore your service. If any of these items are damaged, DO NOT inspect yourself as the equipment may be energized. Call a qualified electrician to fix them immediately. MGE crews cannot repair customer equipment.

You should never connect a generator directly to your home's wiring. Power from a generator connected to a home's wiring will "back feed" into utility lines, potentially severely injuring or killing a neighbor or utility crew working to restore service. Instead, it's recommended to plug appliances directly into the generator's outlet. You should use a heavy-duty extension cord rated for outdoor use to keep the generator safely outdoors. If the appliance has a three-prong plug, always use a three-prong extension cord. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for grounding the generator.

If you do want to connect a generator to your house wiring, hire a licensed electrician to make the connection using a UL-listed transfer switch. The transfer switch will safely prevent your generator from back feeding into utility lines.

A lengthy outage in the summer requires you to take extra precautions to cope with the heat. Hot weather can place a dangerous strain on your body, especially your heart. Prescription drugs for high blood pressure, nervousness, depression, poor circulation or insomnia may make you more vulnerable to the heat. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking medicine for any of these conditions.

As the temperature rises in your home, you may be at a higher risk for developing hyperthermia. This means that your body temperature has increased from being exposed to the heat. The best way to prevent hyperthermia is to stay cool.

During a lengthy outage, you should take extra precautions to preserve food in your refrigerator and freezer. MGE is not responsible for any loss of food you might experience. Learn how to keep your food safe during an outage.

Utility poles and the wires between them are used to provide electrical, telephone, or cable services. They are primarily owned and maintained by utility companies, such as Verizon, Charter Spectrum, and Con Edison. The poles are usually made of wood. To report a problem with electrical poles or wires, use the Electrical Complaint page.

Street lights have metal poles, and are usually powered by energy supplied through wiring located in the base at the bottom of the pole. They are rarely powered by wires strung between poles. The City's Department of Transportation maintains street lights. To report a street light problem, use the Street Light Complaint page.
