Like with everything else, the engineers must have an opinion?? not that it makes a lick of difference. We also use them which ever way they come out of the tool tray.
Did a meter check because it was spinning off the wall. The usual we have nothing on and our bills are unreasonable................what can we do to lower our bills, but when I looked in the back...
We had two runs of 3/0 alum in one duct, one went bad and damaged all of them. If they were in seperate ducts, we might have been able to isolate the bad one and not dig it up at 4am in shitty...
We have done the same thing at our utility, the fire dept does not touch any of our equipment. If our stuff is burning, they let it burn.
We have white rubber type markers, that are permanently stamped with a number. They fit right over the conductor, we use 3/0 and 250 for U/G residential. We also write with black permanent marker...
We use the sky genie descent device, and we rotate through bucket rescue, bucket evacuation, pole top rescue and underground vault rescue after our monthly safety meetings.
hey, thanks for the video post. Never seen that video before.
Absolutely not without patrolling the line.
Most common for us on 16.2/27.6 feeders. A couple times on our 8kv feeders. Haven't used it on 4kv.
Yes these are our safety regulations. I have seen a loadbust fail too, it was quite the ball of fire. So I am quite content with the 15amp rule. It takes 5 extra minutes to put a loadbust on a...
we use a loadbust on everything over 15 amps.
It's what we call a Sky Genie, I've haven't seen an insulated one around here.
Now that's some funny shit!! I Agree with Lewy, we have a couple posi 50 ft material handlers that are awesome. Great over center and the jibs have great rotation. Also very smooth to operate, I do...
I thought this post was about meterwork??
From what I understand and I could be wrong, is that tree trimmers used theses more often to get through the bark of the trees.
We've been putting on a rediculous amount of animal protection on tx banks, from small voltage rated hoses, funny spider looking bird catchers to completely covering everything possible in...
I've heard of utilities that have their mechanics get the trucks fueled and running in the mornings ready for the guys to head out, but not stocked. We have neither. It's hard for us to get the right...
The young man's name was Brodie Schwartz, he was 25yrs old. He was married with a young child. I heard rumour of lightning and a contact accident. Still no definite answer.
We use this foam occasionally, doesn't seem to work as well in the really cold weather. We use backfill probably 95% of the time.
I work not to far from that area, we are still waiting for an update. We did here that it was in a small substation.
We use 3/0 copper leads on all of our trans banks.
Wow, that's a big ol kick in the nuts!! Not much for taking care of their employees!! And as for the union support........wow. The big union big wigs get paid whether you're on strike or not.
I couldn't agree more. I think all these companies with big vehicles that use these smaller inner city streets should have some awareness training. This driver should've called, and/or stayed on...
Had a call today about downed wires in a subdivision. We showed up on site to find a #4 triplex service laying on the boulevard with no trees down or any other reason for it to be down. 1 customer...
