Here's a simple math formula that you will use in this field. The square root of three.
120 x 1.73 = 208

Just because it says on the print to do this and do that that don't mean you follow it.
Here's an example.
Print calls to install a open wye open delta bank 120/240. The lighting pot calls to...
I started at $14.50 an hour non-union AFTER attending SLTC. Once I went union as long as I did what I was supposed to do every 6 months another raise. Now I don't get raises but I was well into the...
When I first started I took the initiative to learn where everything was on the truck I was on. Then when there was any down time I'd ask my lineman what the names of the material were. I kept the...
I had to use one for a period of time and the miller is what I used. I preferred it over the bucksqueeze.
So everyone can see.
Here's my answer; it's f'd up.
I know you've been applying for quite some time. Let me tell you; don't go in there like it's life or deaf. Relax and take the time to answer the whole question. Some questions may be two part and...
Thanks for taking the time to make a reply. Your right; I was in fact elected.
I am happy to see you gathered some thoughts and ideas of what you think is actually going on, however unfortunately...
Low and behold Poot is right. We're not discussing politics. It has long been agreed that a civil political discussion isn't going to remain civil around here. This site is about linework--there...
Didn't know the super beast had some digital displays. Mine has analog and one of them don't work. The mega beast I have is brand spankin new. Little bulky but nice. Just got in a time domain...
I have a super beast - 20 amps and a mega beast - 80 amps. It'll burn it open. :)
Coop I worked you could get away with little things. Nowadays I've never once stepped foot inside a home and never will. Every now and then I bring them outside and show them good voltage on the...
Nice pics. I see you figured out how to get the pictures off your phone.
There not all the same in construction. Some might still use the VC5 versus the newer VC5.3a what ever the dept of agriculture moved all that to. GVEC I've heard keeps their neutrals about 8 ft...
I want to know if this is BS or not. We've established quite awhile back where we define different categories of work.
Category 1 is work that is something like 6 cal cm2 working behind a line...
Thank you. That's exactly where I stand.
Neutrals are to be treated as energized conductors. Meaning the public is at risk. A transmission line could fall across my distribution line and some relay control guy screwed up and the 345kv...
Your doing a line extension...2 spans. You caught everything off at the deadend. You now cut straight through the primary and made it hot.
You pull up the neutral and cut it straight through,...
I got a little used to having the luxury of running a service truck without outriggers. Then I cussed and fussed when I got another that had out riggers doing trouble work. I guess there ok for...
Don't matter if it's 30 amps or a 1/3 of an amp. Your in series your dead. The "potential" is there. You don't know it, but you might have a neutral down on in a pasture. Like I said where do you...
Biggest in the country is Pedernales. They have some load in some areas.
I liked the coop life. Less big company BS to deal with in my opinion.
Think about this. Do you wear your primary gloves when stapling a pole ground? Do you wear your primary gloves when hooking up a truck ground? Now that your truck is grounded to the neutral-do you...
As far as I knew, a lot of places like Conoco don't allow any hot work...I could be wrong.
From what I'm finding it's just the specific area. Have found when closing back in on repaired cable N/O's will be put in a different spot without making necessary updates.
Not to long ago went...
Guess I'm just in a chitty area. Caught flack when I questioned if both ends were tagged. Went out there myself to tag it. It's not uncommon to see a fault go well over a year before it's...
