Footage of helicopter live line work on AEP's 765,000 Volt Transmission System
American Electric Power Co. - "AEP owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, an approximately 40,000-mile network that includes more 765 kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined."

Years ago, before I retired I painted high voltage towers for a company out of Indianapolis. Back then we didn't use safety belts or a safety harness or any ropes. We wasn't allowed to even if we wanted to, for fear of somebody getting them tangled in a " hot " line. We painted these transmission towers while energized. The cracking, humming sound of this very high voltage is something I'll never forget, working up close to it. We would have to crawl, on our hands and knees out onto the " arm" holding the insulator and line. And, be darn sure you keep your head down low, don't let your leg slip, while kneeing down on a small steel angle and paint your way back. At times we might get a static charge of electricity, if we wasn't holding on good. It didn't serious hurt you, but it was enough to make you get a hold. It was hard work. The company urged " racing", where we competed against each other, and the forman, who was the fastest tower painter I knew, would instigate this. If you wasn't on the ground shortly after he was, with your part completed and done right, you got left behind and walked to the next tower. Which, by the way, is where the water cooler, your lunch, and anything else was, in his truck.So, you learned real quick, bust your a-- , work hard and do it right.In all the several years I painted high voltage towers and substations I never seen anybody get into a " hot" line. But, after I left a very close friend did, in a substation working in Houston, Tx., it didn't kill him, somehow, he did survive, but it disfigured him very badly, and he never worked again.He was such a nice guy, and a very hard worker. My hat's off to these guys in this video also. The technology they have available today is amazing. I really enjoyed watching this since I worked in this field awhile. Be careful guys.

+Virtualgod2009 I would think they would have already looked in using stainless. and could have been either a strength factor or cost. or maybe both. If I'm not mistaken the steel had a galvanized coating on it but would wear off over time. Then the steel would start rusting. It was hard dirty and dangerous work. but the guys I worked with were all really good ole guys. And, that was in my much younger days. I enjoy following and watching any related work on high voltage lines. my hats off to the copter crews who do this nerve racking work. Thanks. John

I don't understand why you would look at that and think it's a good thing? Rushing people like that is going to lead to people taking shortcuts, and potentially maiming or killing them like that. Why feel the need to get it done so quickly and risk your life for the company? Even if we consider that doing it safer would lead to something crazy like a 50% decrease in efficiency, the power companies should just hire more people. These power companies cut corners and that money lines the executive and shareholders pockets, which sure as hell don't give a damn about workers painting it, and will actively fight any suits from them. Also if it did decrease the work time by 50%, that's double the amount of these jobs there would be for line workers... Seriously I just can't understand the mindset. Always do a good job, always do admirable work, and do long hours if you want to (and aren't being forced to). But don't sacrifice your safety and cut corners so the CEO and his friends can have a bonus of $30,000,000 instead of $29,800,000 that year.

@LeviHB can't understand the mindset? Must be nice in your luxury shack to claim such an opinion. We have it easy but it hasn't been like this for very long, less than 2 generations. You ought to repeat grade 10 history and re learn how North America industrialized the world. You can't fathom why work conditions were so bare of safety yet keen on speed? My friend, we didn't always have what we do today, tools, human rights, freedom. This has been worked and fought for centuries. Only now in the 21st century do we enjoy such luxury of being able to raise a hand if something isn't right, before our time if you didn't like it, you didn't get paid, if you didn't get paid you don't eat, you don't eat, you die. It's that simple, maybe we should go back to those simpler times, things can get pretty complicated in a hurry, today. 8 year old kids tied to rope were lowered down chimneys to clean and this was considered normal in the 1920's. Not all that long ago is it? Imagine a few hundred years before, or a thousand.

@lost4468yt 4 жыл бұрын

No it's not. The potential difference is already eliminated once the pilot has hooked the lines. The danger is if the helicopter gets tangled in it, or if it clips them with its blades (which can cause them to fracture and violently explode). But even in those cases they have survived. In 2018 a helicopter had a wirestrike in Norway while laser scanning the lines, it cut through 3 conductors but the pilot still managed to crash with only minor injuries to those on-board. What happens when they move toward a new line is the lineman reaches out with a conductor to ground the helicopter to the power line, and the conductor allows this to be done in a controlled manor, then a breakaway cable is placed on the line, which keeps both the helicopter and the lines at the same potential, but snaps if the helicopter moves away. Think of it as similar (well exactly the same) to how birds can land on power-lines without dying.

At about 3:05 it looks as if the worker traps the temporary helicopter grounding wire in one of the spacer clamps - I hope that is an optical illusion, otherwise he had some backtracking to do probably outside the standard procedures (i.e. think of something that won't kill you). Anyway, hats off to the pilots and linesmen who keep the lights on. Makes bull riding look like a nice safe career choice.
