I'm sorry to hear this. It's hard to fathom. My wife and I will be married 45 yrs. this Thurs. Don't know how I'd do if something happened to her.

I had a friend once who had worked as an inspector on some transmission stuff in Pakistan.

He of course was a Journeyman and observed some of their distribution practices. This was back in the...

That's gotta be it. Saw McCarty's obit in the paper. Just gave no details. Did list his occupation as Lineman. Only 26 years old. Too bad.

Don't speak of OSHA when you know nothing. Parts of OSHA are a guide line and some are mandates.. That translates to suggestions and mandatory. To further explain that means some may be done and...

Don't know any details. Just know it was a contractor working for OG&E near the community of Ravia. Soon as I get details I'll post them. They're being very mum about it.

Saw one built once with the H1 on one pot and the H2 on the other connected to the primaries. It was 4 KV and 120/240 secondary. New service, no connected load. It was connected X1 to X1 (because...

I would discuss it with my supervisor and make sure everybody in the area does about the same thing.

It's always been my understanding that most regulations etc. require the customer to provide...

not get balled up here gents, if I understand you right. All you're doing here is placing 2 secondary windings in series. You can only place one ground on these windings as I described them. That...

We did this with pad mts. but it's easier to visualize and draw out if you just think of OH pots. It'll work of course with either. We'll just go with additive pots to make it easier.

Two pots...

Yes I knew of that hookup on the 208 thing with only 2 phases and the neutral available.

It does not take special transformers. It can be obtained with 3 standard pots or with 2 pots. With the 3...

on 2 different pots just means it's a delta hookup dude.

Another tangent here is the fact if you ask a manufactor for something and you will pay for it they will build it. I've seen a couple of...

was speaking of the most common, which is of course the Wye/Wye, Wye/Delta, Delta /Wye and the Delta/Delta. Most everything else is a variation of those. I know a few variations, but they stem from...

have to have a single phase service and a quad service. 2 meters. If his coolers and AC require 3 phase 208 then that is what you give him. If he required current metering then that would depend...

Won't you be plagued by Indians? Try smoke signals.

customer has existing single phase 240 and he also has to have 208 three phase to run his coolers and air conditioners. Ah what's the use?

It's been 34 years. Time flies.

been a Journeyman for 33 yrs. IBEW.

The thing about you Swampgas is you state things as if you were the final authority. The opinion you give about mixing subtractive and additive pots is just...

I just knew it as sure as Hell.

Compression, I just can't be morbid. Linework ain't all that spectacular until someone screws up.

I do like to mess with the Swamp thing though.

know this **** ain't rocket science. When you only have a basic 4 ways to hook a bank it's not to hard to fool the average line hand. But then there's the Swampgas.

Do you think you can phase...

lines that maybe started out as true delta connected lines, were converted to a true Wye, and maybe only had a neutral in portions of it. These would contain a mixture of banks with the same...

begin to appear on Wye/Delta banks when the voltages begin to hit the Ferroresonance range which is reckoned to be around the 20 KV range.

For a delta secondary on a Wye connected primary you can...

two hookups possible in this situation that I know of. My original requirement of a Wye/Delta might throw you off, but I know there are plenty of people out there who have routinely done both...

some of the apprentices will help you out eventually. What a pitiful mess. Keep your feet out of the grounds.

Swampy. You never completely answered the question. I would give you about 50%. Good enough for a D.

For further credit, give the other hookup as pertains to the primary and how would the...
