Contributor's comments: State Electricity Commission - at least previously 'of Victoria'
Contributor's comments: I have heard the term. My father (an electrician) also taught me how to read the round metal tag embedded in the pole about 5ft above the ground. The tag code gave the height of the SEC pole, the type of tree used, and the date it was "planted" ( - ie installed).
Contributor's comments: We generally referred to the poles in suburban streets as "power poles". The term "SEC Poles" or "SEC Pylons" was generally used for those large-scale pylons which extend across entire suburbs or districts to carry electricy from the generators.
