We started putting arresters up 3 or 4 years ago. We are 7200/12470 with our neutal low. They are put on an average of 4 per running mile, with 2, 8 foot ground rods ,one on top of the other...

Here in the states it gives you all the info for the pole. The class, the height, what it is treated with and how much, what company made it,the species of the wood, and when it was made. It is at...

You will change the sag just a little in the spans on either side of that structure, and the insulators on a joining structures will not hang straight.

I had the concept right. Just used the stays instead of the pole butt.

How about taking the guy wires (stays) off the right pole and temporaly attach to arm on left side. Unbolt X bracing, and crossarm, and pull old pole and set new pole reattach crossarm and X bracing...

I would be a full time goat farmer. Their personalities are a lot better than most people. Only problem they do not pay well. But would have liked to try my hand at being a vet.Always liked the...

Dang straight! All that they are is a way to distract you from what you need to do and it makes an easy excuse to not work and pay attention to what is going on around you. Semms that they have there...

That you are standing on a pole under partly cloudy skies waving to the people who have came to admire perfection... or something like that:eek:

Well like I said before I do not post a lot and I did quit looking at the site for a while cause it was a mess. I am glad some stepped up and took an intrest in the the site and made it better. I can...

Hey Poot do you think that maybe the OCR that was protecting that piece of line had a ground fault on it? So when you closed the first two switches it just thought it seen load, till the imbalance...

That is one thing we do not worry about here in the arid belly of the good ole US. But with all the fertilizer and what not that they put in the center pivot sprinklers for growing crops, if it hits...

Must be the one that seperates the gennies from the cable from the main line.
Should have said mainland, oops

I see them hiding now. And it could be that all the presses at the bananna factory runs on high voltage to be more efficent.:rolleyes:

Gotta be a step up transformer. The disconects are on the line side. And the bells on the primary are two on the right and three on the left. Do not know voltages there but out here ours would be...

I do not post alot, but do agree that it is a lot better than it was. Some of the topics got way out of hand, and if everyone can not agree to disagree in a respectful manner then the topic should...

Well Poot at least you have more than one feeler and I think a bananna will make you feel better as well.:rolleyes:

Even in a small distrubution co-op the staking could be wrong an angle missed and maybe some important info that the people doing it from the office do not know. Ya better be able to think correct...

Hay Poot does the line cover left on cover the center pin as well and extend from both sides? It might be for rapture protection. We have to do a lot of that out here, we do not use the line cover...

There are a few ?????able people that use a piece of baling wire for a car antenna,maybe cell phone or ??? antenna on the other side of the pond.:rolleyes: Maybe just to make someone ask watizzit?:D

Hows about a great way to dry your wet gloves,socks, or whatever by mounting it by the fan or the exhaust on your gennies. I would defitnately need something like that by the looks of your...

Did you say ummmmmmmSorry Poot I just had to say it. LOL

I love my co-op job. Been here 20 years. Some co-ops are really rural and some are not, ours is, we have a lot of area a lot of line, three phase as well as single phase, we also have a fair amount...

I am going to think that you have some pretty good down hill grade and there is some concern that the structure will begin to lean to the down hill side. The side guys will hold the strain and the...

Bummer dude cleance is a good one as well. But how about the fact that it might be an anomaly and you just wanted to practice making a double deadend:rolleyes::D

I would think the most logical answer is you had some bad conductor and it was easier and more efficent to do the double deadend than it would be to splice the conductor and repin it.
