I found a string of these yesterday on the ground in the woods about fifteen feet off a road a use every day. They look exactly like those they are working on and the porcelain disks are in pristine condition. The metal top on some are pitted from the weather but otherwise in good shape. here are six disks and a very rusted clamp with some heavy gauge stranded copper wire still in it. The poles that run along this road do not have these type of insulators so I figure at some time the utility company replace the old ones and the one I found was discarded. The disks are 10 inched in diameter. The ink under the glazing reads PINCO 1959-15000 lbs. I assume they were manufactured in 1959 and they are capable of resisting a 15000 lb load. Anyhow, I brought them home and cleaned them up. I have no idea what I will do with them but they are just too cool to have left in the woods.

Working inside angle ! Had the rope sling got cut or come loose come loose or broke while the string was disconnected employee on inside of that angle would have had the full strain of that span applied to that jumper. Would have been hurt and or pulled out of that bucket. Always think a step ahead “ what if this happens “. This is the way lineman must plan their work.

Yes wearing gloves on a grounded line doesn’t make sense, but especially on 69kv as there are no gloves rated for that voltage. Also why didn’t they have a sling to the pole and attach the hoist to the sling.

Crazy they make you wear rubbers while grounding and while working after it's grounded.

I see why if you are doing it while grounding just in case human error or something but after I don’t really get it unless there is underbuild or something.

@@ElectroTree01Well you should always wear gloves while grounding because I've seen the line have enough static to draw an arc. Especially if the primary is close to a transmission line somewhere, the static can be crazy.

@@Robmancan1987 I agree, I've heard of that happening before but I guess I didn't think of it when writing the comment. I think you mean inductive coupling and/or capacitive coupling instead of static.

Knot tying skills leave something to be desired. Apparently you don’t have nylon strap slings or a becket to wrap around the bell. The sling should be set up so the hook of the puller rides between the bells so you don’t break the porcelain on the bell you’re attached to. Other than that, not bad for a first year apprentice.

Isn't it dangerous to be on that side of the line? (im not a line man just something that caught my attention) I mean if somehow the winch or the rope snaps the line falls and will pull you against and possibly out from the bucket.

My experience with porcelain is if you expect it to break it probably won’t but when it touches itself in a harmless way it explodes.
