Sound like an insulated cable but from other threads on cables this can mean nothing.

Its got a twisted look to it, im going to fiind it hard to explain

as in 3 wires together then twisted around. But on the pole it does say high voltage?

 

Hope my explaining hasnt confused everything, if it has ignore it lol

Its an insulated cable, which is LV. 4m away is far enough to do most things without a shutdown if you know what you are doing. BUT, and I can't stress this enough, go ahead with the shutdown if you are not 100% certain you can do it without dropping anything on the line. Short of actually touching the cable, it is hard to get a shock from ABC, but not impossible. What do you need to do to the trees (fell, prune, section fell)? Can you get a photo of the site?

Probably 3 phase LV, but still LV. You can't have actual High Voltage (11kv) touching in a bundle fashion, even insulated they would cross phase to phase.

There is a dead oak which is being removed about 4 metres away at least. Its almost a pole so nothing will touch by a long shot just needs chogging down, no target whats so ever.

Around are smaller oaks which probly come within 2 metres of the line but again they are poor form and so really whispy limbs (Can all be chucked by hand). One small tree has just grown a V around the line and with a little wind will rub on the line, thats what in not sure about.

 

Its all being removed to put a gate in to a horse field. Probly 5 trees in total nothing over 40ft

 

None of the limbs are heavy enough to break the cable.
