True or False: Service drop conductors can be attached to foliage or vegetation.

The statement is false because service drop conductors should not be attached to foliage or vegetation. The National Electrical Code (NEC) emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe and reliable electrical installation, which includes ensuring that service drop conductors are securely and appropriately supported.

Attaching conductors to trees or other vegetation poses several risks, including potential damage to the conductors as the vegetation grows or shifts, as well as increased likelihood of electrical hazards such as short circuits or outages due to falling branches or excessive leaf buildup. Instead, service drop conductors should be appropriately secured using approved hardware on suitable structures or supports specifically designed for that purpose. This ensures not only compliance with safety standards but also the longevity and reliability of the electrical service provided.
