As a Lineman I appreciate these videos, keep up the good work. These are very informative and shows the public what we do and a little how we do it.

Alabama Power recently installed one of those on the primary that feeds our neighborhood, single phase 7200 volt. Our neighborhood has lots of trees that have grown up near the lines. Even the winds from a summer storm would blow the trees into the lines and cause a short and pop the cutout fuse. Then we'd be without power for at least an hour until the fuse was replaced. It'll be interesting to see how this device performs.

They did not strengthen the crossarm because of the recloser’s weight. They put a stronger one up to swap it from a tangent to a deadend crossarm.

It's interesting how rubber glove and sleeve policies differ from company to company, we have a ground to ground rubber glove policy, even while hot sticking and working tested dead and grounded lines. We'd also need sleeves if we were working within minimum approach.

ucfsub when working on tested and dead grounded lines do you also use cover up as clearly you feel it is not safe for bare conductor to touch any part of your body.

I don't feel unsafe about any of that. I was stating that our policy requires the use of rubber gloves even on tested dead and grounded lines. At no point could we exchange rubber gloves for leathers under any circumstances unless we were working on a pole that had no possibility of becoming energized i.e no foreign wires of any kind bridging to an energized pole.

ucfsub my question is does your company make you cover everything up because clearly they feel it is unsafe for any part of your body to contact a bare conductor.
@ucfsub6 жыл бұрын
Nope, and the best part is they wouldn't say a word if you were taking a nap across all 3 phases so long as you had your rubber gloves on.

Steve,removal of the jumpers is a mere formality,so not really worth showing,however in saying that,had one of the tripsavers been defective from the factory,removal of the jumper on that phase may well have been interesting to say the least,I'm sure all went well though!

Would love to see the jumper removal process. We're having discussions and difficulty installing these live. We use rubber glove technique on 24kV lines and install the Trip Saver 2. However whenever we use an Amprobe to check current through the jumper and Trip Saver before jumper removal, no current seem to flow through the CLOSED Trip Saver. Thus we are afraid to remove the jumper fearing we might be interrupting the current flow, creating an arc and hurt ourselves. Therefore our practice involves a short outage per phase. We reinstall the fuse-out in the Trip Saver bracket to remove the jumper, remove the jumper, open the cut-out, install the trip saver then close it. Advise please

kevingambino1. look into load pickup jumpers. you can safety open a jumper with hotstick technique. if the recloser is defective the load brake jumper will snuff the arc.

Que bagunça pra colocar chave XS, Aqui no brasil nós elevamos todas as 3 fases acima de nossa cabeça com o auxilio de uma cruzeta auxiliar,. assim podemos montar a estrutura embaixo e depois é só fazer o by-pass e fechar os jumpers..muito mais rápido prático e seguro.

Spanish translated by Google Translate: "What a mess to put XS key, Here in Brazil we raise all 3 phases above our head with the aid of an auxiliary crosshead. So we can assemble the frame below and then just bypass and close the jumpers..much faster practical and safe."

I was always told not to ring any kind of copper or poly wire because it could create a weak point and break after sometime.

Why is the rope shorting out the jib. The rope should not be used unless it is attached to a link stick, just put the wire in a wire holder without the winch. Also what’s wrong with using a live line hoist or just attach the grip and hoist with rubber gloves.

Damn Arizona, you got pined insulators, and these fancy TripSavers instead of wire tie offs and some basic fuzes ... y'all gettin fancy on us with your new tech... is that APS, Salt River, or the other one (I forgot what it was)? I might have to move back to AZ just to go do lineman work. Call me crazy, but I like the heat.

APS doesn't allow rubber gloving even on 7200, only time we wore our rubbers was to.put cover on and a few other times. Besides that we sticked everything. I like sticking so no problem for me.

Why is the lineman in the air cutting his own taps and skinning the ends in the air to install in the cutouts???? Arizona correct, I assume it’s warm there.... cutting the tap wire and skinning the wire is ground work, if I’m in the air you better ground hand for me. If you don’t ground hand for me correctly, you’ll only do it wrong once.
