That's the same event. The video I have is a training film for firefighters. It shows a good deal more of the event.

I've built and maintained that type of construction. It is more common around contamination prone environments such as coastal areas and chemical processing yards.

Wondering if you received the videos?

We parked ours next to the Holan Bronco!

I'm on it!

I have one that occurred in southern Virginia. By standers and good samaritans are all over the scene. Kid climbs from car after being told numerous times to stay in the vehicle. Power Co crew shows...

I've used the Service Saver, Ekstrom(sp) hubs with service entrance cable(range cable), oh triplex up and over on trees, URD triplex over the ground both in and out of conduit

No hot work over 600volts.

Same here. In almost 40yrs, I've never tied anything to the boom that supported me!

Sad...

Of course the current accident rates reflect what the video reveals.

The calculation uses; electrode gap, bolted fault current, clearing time and distance of the worker from the arc.

Open air requirements for face shields are different than an arc in a box.

We used only two ct's on pump banks, wye-wye and wye-delta(closed). These banks only fed irrigation pumps so balanced loads were just about guaranteed.

I have to edit that a bit;
The guys with the years of experience THINK they know what they can get away with and what they can't,

Guys take short cuts because they are human. We are wired to...

I've had many converstions over the years regarding the difference between, electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction...

The fact that there is a difference between the two doesn't...

I've seen anti climb guards used on pole risers. Linemen were the only people that I've ever seen injured by one.

I can't think of anyone that uses them today. Of course my world is pretty small...

I'll pile on with Poot and T-Man.

Any after hours stations switching was assigned to the troublemen.
We wrote orders and did quarterly operational tests on breakers. In our spare time we might...

You are describing what I would refer to as a "spot" network. Typically 2-4 transfromers feeding a single building. We would have two subs feed 4 pots with each with each of the two feeds per sub...

Topgroove is correct.

In general, I like them. They aren't too keen if your run is smaller than 2/0.

There are multiple circuits within the delta. They are both ends of the same coil.

Think about a line with a point in the middle and facing east/west. If you head from the midpoint east then do a...

Stop thinking phase to phase when dealing with single phase installations. Think L1 and L2, Hot leg, hot leg, neutral. Not A phase, B phase, C phase. They are not the same type measurement.
