Polyester nylon core rope dielectric?

[ATH]

Pretty sure the rope will melt or burn off before it conducts through a long length of rope to the op

Electricity will not burn any portion of the rope unless it is grounded somewhere. If it is grounding on the other end of the rope, it is delivering current to that end of the rope.

The lack of understanding electricity among arborist is quite amazing.

To the OP: Have you considered the conductivity of the tree? The guy with the saw is going to be at the tree's base.

The only responsible response to the O.P. is: Power lines will kill you and you have shown by your question that you need to keep yourself and your crew away from them.
