I am floored by the precision those helicopter pilots are capable of, hovering so steadily next to those lines that the installer can get the equipment installed. The aircraft doesn't move more than a few inches in any direction while the installer is placing the equipment.

interesting and educational , I used to ponder about these things each time I noticed them on the power lines . I thought there were amperage level indicators and what's hot and what's not .

how safe is it for the linemen? are the other lines live?

@mchenj Жыл бұрын

The lines are all live. It's okay as long as you don't bridge line-to-line or line-to-ground. Same concept as why pigeons don't die as soon as they land on an obviously live line. Also, these things aren't insulated. Kind of a trip, understanding that you can touch it as long as you aren't making contact with another phase or ground. However, a fall or failure of the helo/pilot will maim or kill. That's the more dangerous part of the job here.

is it wise to spend so much money just to accommodate a few super reach fat cats who fly private planes. All this increase cost of electricity for everybody.

@GrandyDancer Жыл бұрын

and when there plane hits the power line you won't have power at you home for awhile.

@minkymott Жыл бұрын

So, these are only made for "fat cats". Wow. Who knew no one else flies planes close to power lines. Gee Poindexter, I'm glad you pointed that out. You really are pretty stupid aren't you.

@Capt-Intrepid 6 ай бұрын

No. It's NOT a "few super reach fat cats who fly private planes." Do more reading. There are over 160,000 private pilots in the USA. Getting licensed costs $10K to $20K. Many private pilots are upper middle class.
