With those plastic insulators that are lightweight when compared to the old porcelain/glassware, they make easy work of lifting those new crossarms into place.

Never seen crossarms hung that way , bucket/lift makes things easier.

They look like a contracting firm hired by your local power company

This actually looks like a 4kv cut over not sure what the primary voltage is they’re cutting over to.

The new pot they were hanging on that pole was a 4kv can. Looks like they’re keeping same voltage but just upgraded wire pots and arms. Wish they would let us take a mass outage like that in New York lol. We pull wire in hot parallel everything in and remove everything with line hot.

A lot of your old 4kv was stuff put up back in the early 40s late 30s. Even for a cut over in Baltimore you got a 90% chance your taking a decent outage. Probably why they got guys on hooks. Need every swinging dick in the yard to get it done in the time frame.

4KV that's pretty low by today's standards. Nowadays they use 7.2KV to ground, 12,470 volts phase to phase.

Is that each phase or total?

Cheap wooden poles

@mxslick50 10 күн бұрын

Wood poles have become almost, if not more, expensive than steel or concrete. (Due to the pressure treating and strength required.) And, in earthquake prone areas, wood poles won't crack or bend like concrete and steel can.

@mxslick50 only uses steel here
