Part two of this two-part video shows a Kansas City Power & Light crew completing all three phases of the gloved wire transfer and taking down more of the old distribution pole.

New x-arm needs to be covered up, after you cut the conductor the tail length was almost half the length of the insulator. Dead or alive should always cover up on this kind of work. Besides that great job n keep safe brothers👍

The insulators are long (and shaped like they are) to account for when it's raining and they're soaking wet. If they're dry and clean, they're far longer than necessary. The dielectric strength of common polymers is 10s of kV/mm, if it's a 15 kV system, a couple of mm of plastic is sufficient.

He got mighty close to the arm with the tail coming out of the shoe when he transferred that dead-end. He should of covered the arm. Also, at what part of the polymer does the the voltage rating begin? Too many differences of potential near that hot tail with no cover. No doubt though they seemed to be two decent linemen.

To avoid double poly on one side they could have caught phases off on new arm, and undone backside phase from shoe cut old arm out of way at the pole then made up the phase and it’s all uniform saves material as it’s hard to get nowadays and then cut out old pole top as normal

@linehandibew62054 жыл бұрын
Cody Whitman it’s hot but it was a normal open switch so no need for jumpers because there is no load going through so no need to keep a path. It it was a normal closed switch then they would have needed to provide a temporary path before cutting everything open
