True or False: Primary distribution lines have lower voltage than transmission lines, making them safer and easier to work with.

Primary distribution lines do indeed have lower voltages compared to transmission lines, which typically operate at much higher voltages for long-distance electricity transport. This difference in voltage does contribute to the relative safety of working with primary distribution lines, as lower voltage systems reduce the risk of severe electrical shock and arc flash incidents, making them easier to work with for utility arborists and other professionals in the field.

In addition, the construction and installation practices for primary distribution lines are designed with safety considerations that promote easier handling and accessibility for maintenance and service. Therefore, the assertion that primary distribution lines are safer and easier to work with due to their lower voltage compared to transmission lines is accurate.

This understanding highlights the critical aspects of working with electrical systems and ensures that utility arborists can safely manage vegetation and conduct necessary maintenance without heightened risk factors associated with higher voltage transmission lines.
