First off you should not be touching any high voltage source whether you are grounded or not. A pole isn't typically dangerous, it is the wires on the pole. A path to ground is required for a current to flow. Technicians working on high voltage power line often touch the lines and ensure they are not grounded when doing so, by using special procedures. That is why birds can sit on bare power lines without getting shocked.

How deep should a temporary electric service pole be set in the ground?
There is no specific depth stated. Two to three feed deep with staked angular support from the pole to the ground will do the job fine.
What is differene between 2 pole 4 pole electric motor?
A 2-Pole motor runs twice as fast as a 4-pole motor. The 2-pole motor has 2 windings at 180 degrees apart and the four pole motor has four windings at 90 degrees apart. The rotor tries to move from pole to pole with each half cycle of the AC current so the motor no-load speed for 60 cycle current is 2x3600/#poles. This is 1800 rpm for a 4-cycle motor and 3600 rpm for a 2-pole motor.
What is the maximum height of an electric utility pole?
In the US the standard height of a utility pole is 40 feet, and is buried six feet into the ground. The tallest utility poles have reached 120 feet because of clearance requirements in the area.
