alright guys am new to the forum and i,ve been trying my hardest to read some of the post but i,ve noticed your lingo(terms of speak) on here for some of the gear you use at work is completely different dont suppose any of you got the time to explain some of them will put down some of mine
the basics are thesame its just the odd one here and there


shut down = cutting off supply

rigging out = setting up ready to pull conductor

hot glove = doing live line work

permit = piece of paper issued by engineer to allow work to comence

section = angle pole

pin angle = section without dish,s

terminal = last pole

tranny = transformer


would apprciate any help here guys

Kill, Dump circuit = cutting off supply

Direct hanlde = doing live line work

work order = piece of paper issued by engineer to allow work to comence

angle/corner pole = angle pole

straight away = section without dish,s

dead end pole = last pole

tub/pot = transformer

Hello to a fellow brit...
Down in Oxfordshire we use pretty much the same lingo as you, but never heard rigging out, and we have a section pole in straight if needed not just at an angle. Pin angle is anything with a less than 15 degree deviation...

Cheers.

Kill it , open it up, dump the circut = cuttin the supply or power off .( "dump the circut" is usually a means of last resort or in an emergency situation)
rigging and settin up = getting ready to pull in a conductor
work it hot , glovin it = doing live line work
job package usually includes, print, work order = paper from the engineer, (wich usually can't be done as on the print because they never went out and actually looked at it )! :D
angle pole, corner pole = angle pole
tangent, inline = inline, no angle, straight
dead end = last pole
pot = transformer
