where to get power pole?
(OP)
Im having a tough time finding a source for power poles. 40ft. Internet search doesnt turn up much for a "power pole" querie. Im in So CAl. I have located some used poles but am concerned about grading them. Is there a standard for grading so I dont buy pig in a poke?

Ask Edison or DWP for a 1 or 2 of their vendors. That explains 4800V. You might search for someone familiar with G.O. 95 to keep you tit out of the wringer regulation-wise. The work is essentially outside of the typical NEC scope.

OK, suggested is the work be done by a licensed electrical contractor with poleline experience. I don’t think the utility providing the 480V service at the property boundary is going buy into your plan without an electrical inspection on the circuit(s) and equipment [pump, controller, transfomer sets, line with grounding and guying, cutouts, arresters, disconnecting means, LV service entrance, et cetera.] Even in Muleshoe County, the local inspection authority will probably want to see some engineered construction drawings {maybe with a PE stamp} and accept the design before anyone picks up a shovel. No personal offense intended, but it sounds like you may be in too deep before the work is even started.
One reference for transformer testing is Chapter 5 of A.S. Gill’s Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance & Testing.

"General Order 95" is California's equivalent of the NESC.
