the branch still has a rubberized coating on it genius. why doesnt rain then make the lines go up in flames? or a bird fry to death?

the branch doesn't have a rubber coating and neither does the wire.

rain/birds don't make it short out because a single drop of water or a single bird is incapable of touching both lines or a combination one line and the ground at the same time.

you fail at being even halfway intelligent.

1. The video isn't fake so you obviously lose.
2.  To make things more personal; You're an electrician, you lose again.

are you trolling me, or is being a fucking electrician so vital to your ego that you can't admit you have no idea what you're talking about?

While overhead lines are usually bare conductors, rarely overhead insulated cables are used, usually for short distances (less than a kilometer). Insulated cables can be directly fastened to structures without insulating supports. An overhead line with bare conductors insulated by air is typically less costly than a cable with insulated conductors. A more common approach is "covered" line wire. It is treated as bare cable, but often is safer for wildlife, as the insulation on the cables increases the likelihood of a large wing-span raptor to survive a brush with the lines, and reduces the overall danger of the lines slightly. These types of lines are often seen in the eastern United States and in heavily wooded areas, where tree-line contact is likely. The only pitfall is cost, as insulated wire is often costlier than its bare counterpart. Many utility companies implement covered line wire as jumper material where the wires are often closer to each other on the pole, such as an underground riser/Pothead, and on reclosers, cutouts and the like.
