my neighbour has installed aluminum overhead wire in a 1 inch conduit underground over a distance of 120 meters, or 300 feet. this will service his whole house. he wants to hook up to my transformer and i have declined him until i hear it will not cause damage. i have heard that the outer shielding on overhead allows the wire to give off heat and would melt the conduit if placed underground, and ultimately harm my transformer with constant load. this is being installed in a third world country where he could just pay a bribe to the company to hook him up, so regulations and policy are out the window. thanks for your help in advance!
