Do ya use these across the pond ? We shudder had these at the start of this job ...but they've turned up now.

[reppy007]

Yes Ive used them....seen many laying around too....rusty spring and all.

I've never pulled wire without a traveling ground, but it's been rare for us to ever pull wire in the wide open where there was little chance for induced voltage.

[thrasher]

Only time we don't is building a new line in virgin territory, no crossings and no parrallels. Even then some of the guys use them just because that's thier normal procedure.

We call them trailing earths.

[lewy]

We also call it a travelling ground and should always be part of proper tension stringing near energized conductors.

[paul maxwell]

Running earths,never used them on clean rebuilds,usually on tower stinging when one side is live,or earth wire with one or both sides live

[rob8210]

We don't always use a running ground but when stringing near or over live we always ground the wire, often by the tail coming out of the reel.

The live line is running parallel in a lot of places... Gets a bit tingly at times.
