As most of you know we don’t allow any advertising on the Forums. We just can’t have that. You can imagine how it would go if we let that happen.

A few weeks back I deleted a post...

After reading some of jdpmorris posts, it sure appears he is tryinig to promote a company.

I have sent him an email asking him to stop doing that. Please let me know if it continues.

First, I will respond to Swamp.

When I have an idea, I never sit around thinking about why it will not work....

Had I ever taken that attitude, powerlineman would have never existed.

Here is what I would like to see happen if I were king of the world and I had it all my way.

I would like to see the Linemen (the users of powerlineman) form a nonprofit entity that could take...

Yeah, I have a lot of Tracies around.

Here is something I have been mulling around in my head for quite a few years.

The reason I wanted to bring it up here is because the people using powerlineman.com and reading Powerlineman...

Now that a lot of you Linemen that worked Hurricane Sandy are getting back home I wonder if you could post some of your experiences here on the Forums. Also, if there are any Linemen who have worked...

Whenever you can, why not do both.... Bond the Neut to ground and all of the trucks?

First ground from the neut to the temp screw in or driven ground rod (pour some water on it while your at it)...

This is how it goes.

When it comes to this kind of subject it goes right to the fight. Neither side can possibly solve any of it here. It dead locks immediately and then just goes right into the...

We don't have a list of rules to read. The rules are simply to avoid talking politics and don't bully.

I don't want to put the rules into writing because then people will try to see how close...

We were energizing a brand new 1000mcm 7200/12470v underground feeder. Every few blocks there was S&C switchgear and we had several crews’ stationed at the various switch gears to take voltage checks...

If you really want to know what's happening you should put a recording amp/volt meter (I don't know what they call them now a days.) on it for a few days.

To answer the question, three thirty in...

We all need to test out how well any private generation can stand the test of being put straight to ground..... every time..

Or see how well the customer can pick up the line for us.

Personally, with 4/0 cu str feeders, I feel a lot better looking at two bronse split bolts rather than two silver squeeze ons.

I know that the split bolts will not burn up.

The key element in...

I did a little research on this a while back. Sometime around the mid 1800's, about the time of the Civil War, the telegraph linemen started using climbing belts. Before that they just wrapped a leg...

I don’t go look at the other websites and I try to just ignore the slander that is being said about me by some folks but I am aware of all of the videos and character assassination that is being...

After all that has been said and done on this board, I have always kept at arm’s length but, on this issue I feel that I must weigh in on it.

I am a municipal Lineman. I still live in the town I...

It's an old peom. I first saw it about twenty years ago.

OK, I just hosted what I called a “Lineman's Appreciation Day” at my place this last Saturday. We had Beer, Fire in the fire pit, Music, and Sloppy Joes with potato salad. It was a very good time for...
