    Who's pole?

    If this is the utility pole then they have their own spec. Most call for ten feet up and then they take over from there.

    Up a utilty pole?

    The entire height of the conductors, up to a comfortable location that the conduit can end and the conductors loop out to connect to the aerial lines.

    You should need a weather cap at the end of conduit.

    A limit of height may be required by the utility company, depending on the pole and any utilities that may be on it.

    Consult with your utilities.
