@le random guy Welcome to the world of AI ran tech. LOL :)

Lol weird. Numbers might be screwy because I leave the video as private until the HD processing is complete. Tonight's took a few hours because of the go pro content. When I released it as public it had technically been already posted a few hours before.

hey, just wanted to say: no.1 check we are at the right location. something the police in my country could better heed! 😂 i had to 'invite' them in earlier looking for a fugitive. they told me he'd given them this address. well, i'd like to believe them but i saw my neighbour later, asked her how she was and she said the police were round looking for her son....

@@Bobsdecline I love your videos they awesome

Really a WOW.... hey can you maybe do a review what gloves you use and what to look out for ? I am from Germany so I always use 22KV and up and carry them in a special carry box but what do you recommend ?

Oh yea, 100% they'll be back for those last 3 pieces 😔. Be a good sting to see who's thievin' in that neighborhood.

​@@Bobsdecline definitely agree

And me

Spoken like a person that's never seen a scrapyard in his life.

​@@Bobsdecline Who exactly are they stealing from? All they have to do is what a week and grab it out of the dumpster. I'll never understand people that feel the need to police garbage literally going to the dump from being recycled. Oh no, keeping copper out of the landfill and making a whole $2! What a fucking monster!

Haha yup! Especially since they aren't native to our area at all!

@@Bobsdecline The idea of native New Brunswick tarantulas is pretty amusing. I lived in NB for a little bit and I'd say you have enough wildlife as it is.

Thanks Caeden!

Well thank you! ...For taking the time to share that 👊🏻👊🏻. I really appreciate reading messages like this. Being new to the trade; I hope you're loving it so far and getting good quality training. Be safe out there!

+1 on the potential backfeed thru a water heater or similar load.

In Halifax Nova Scotia last year we lost a line worker just doing this . Wasn’t wearing his rubber gloves I believe is what ultimately cost him his life. The line worker grabbed two different phases without thinking not having proper gloves on and be became the bridge for 240v (120 v each phase)

Substance abuse/addiction, then your mind goes to there could have been kids there too - really tragic. My dad was a landlord and we had some tenants like this when I was a kid. They were still living in our rental with the utilities shut off! We had to go to court to get them out and it took over a year to get the place in shape again to rent after they were gone. So yes, the stuff you see . . .

Ouff! I could only imagine! Probably my worst would be the entire basement floor covered in cat/dog poo with our meter on the other end 😧

@@Bobsdecline He could tell you it's even worse when it's human waste.

@@Bobsdecline Must be why the standard in most places I've been around, all utility meters are outside. And now, with smart meters, nobody needs to come read them anyway. In which case, why not just install the smart meters for electrical at the poles where the final main to the building comes off?

That's been around for many years, especially in Ontario. When my Mom bought her place nearly 40 years ago, the first water tank, which was electric, was not a rental. When it broke down, she had it replaced by a gas water tank and the new one is a rental. Nice considering that when they break down, the owners just come and replace the tank ASAP without cost to the customer.

Interesting! I don't remember seeing that comment in the past. Have you seen much on the newer plastic insulators? From what I've been told an additive to the plastic should prevent UV damage that led to inevitable failure among our early plastic models. We've recently switched back to plastic and use mostly epoxy type on all dead end and equipment.

@@Bobsdecline My work mostly focuses on 69kV and above, so those polymer insulators are made differently than the distribution class epoxy designs. I'm aware of some failures, but I haven't heard that there is widespread concern. The focus of the distribution voltage research seems to be on other equipment at the moment.

After all. We are all just humans in the end.

@@pennyless4tea Indeed! :)

Thanks Joshua! Cheers!

Appreciate it very much Fred! 👊

Thanks for the breakfast Paul! That's awesome 👊👊🤝🤝☕

It's crazy sometimes eh... Good on you for refusing the job. Aside from the health risks, it's disrespectful to expose someone to those conditions.

addition, customer was trained on 6.6 thru 132kv, not 240v... but the same principle applies

We had something similar when building a factory in a poor area I think it was a substation but not sure on the terms. We had to get our electricity directly from a 400kV line due to the intended power draw of the factory (4 arc furnaces, 8 hydraulic presses, a few dozen lathes, a few dozen mills and some electro-chemical processing stations) and so we had to designate a space for all the equipment to get... 400 volt iirc. It was the first thing built due to safety rules and so stood there while the foundation for the factory was being built. I was shocked at how many people went into that area between it being built and us having to put up more security between then and the factory being fully built and staffed (3x 8 hours shifts every day, even christmas)

👊👊

🤣 never thought of that
