I'd hate to see the bill for the Grove crane !
lose that @ in the middle of the video!!
Very nice. You know of any cable splicer apprenticeships hiring in the near future? I’ve been grunting on overheard for many years but I’m more interested in pursuing this kind of work.
Need more videos man
Enjoy the heck out of your vids. I retired after 40 years as a Journeyman Lineman/Working Foreman on a muni system in Colorado. Miss it every day. Work safe my friend. Mark
no sleeves?
Lineman out of 66 in Houston. Love watching your videos. Thanks for posting!
problem we had was getting guys to stay on the manholes and vaults .....modt were scared of the confinded space ....
@@JimwombatLand wazzup Jim most of the time we stay in the hole , no problem at times but no real need to get out.. what company do you work for if you don’t mind sharing..
didnt know lead was still being used , lead is a hazard now , plenty new cables out there now , easier to use ....
@@JimwombatLand wazzup Jim as for us here in Downtown LA it’s going to be a long while before it goes away. Stay safe over there brother…
Hats off to you, our crew replaces energized poles daily. Sometimes its a breeze, sometimes its a nightmare. 😅
@@hsanch9973 wazzup brother true that as well sometimes easy Peezy and others is pain in the BUTTTT..👍👍👍😎
on our ug crew we had our own blower to blow string in duct ....
can be done , in towns , two line trucks ....
groundman does it all but climb , load the truck , get water /ice, dig holes , man the shovels , tamp poles , work handline for lineman, carry ladders , about anything required
@@JimwombatLand wazzup Jim that is totally correct but we do assist him with a lot of things or stuff as needed to get to work and repair the job at hand … 👍👍😎
If the transformers don't match exactly, would parallel operation cause large circulating currents?
pulled a lot of wire in manholes and vaults.mostly 350mcm and 750 mcm al , finaly changed to big copper wire after i retired.
May i know the voltage?
Are the rubber arm sleeves a rule state by state? I see the rubber gloves but in Texas they wear both regardless.
@@nomansland78 wazzup that question I really can’t answer, because utilities or contractors do different things with that question
Great presentation
What happened not getting new videos? Darn I enjoyed them.
Learning to wipe cable now. But we do it with lead! . Looks like a good wipe!
Where’s the earth continuity jumper
38 yrs line work , bucket , Regulators, capacitors, downtown ug , trouble shooting , loved bucket work...
screw drivers in top of pole ....brings back soo many memories ...
Wazzup Jim still doing it, when did you retire seems like it. 👍😎
What happens if you miss a semester of classes could you still graduate in 2 years?
Вау! Трансформатор в колодце👍 а как же вода?
Same hole set looks like a 6 man crew. Not cut in kick. Good job.
Wazzup asan if you don’t think it is can you please explain how they do a cut and kick at the utility you work for , so maybe I can learn another way it’s done , thanks
@linemanundergroundworld4854 sure. A cut and kick is when we utilize the existing pole to hold up the conductors and comm. At the base of the pole you mount a xarm about 1' off the ground to pole with 2 bolts and cut the pole under bolts, kick the pole over to one side and stand it on xarm like a peg leg. You'd have to travel up the comm and untie phases and secure to pole with guts so the pole can slide over. And tagline pole so it stays upright. Pull pole butt, dig, set new pole and transfer. We cut and kick poles if phases float too low or its a end of line deadend pole(energized). We call your method same hole set. Good job though I'd done the same thing on that pole. Good content.
Hello, I am from Taiwan and I would like to ask you something. Does your company have overhead power lines of 22.8KV level?
Wazzup Mr. Taiwan no we don’t, we have low voltage and 4.8kv and 34.5kv thanks for asking and subscribing.. 👍👍😎
A day in the life!!! Right on, Write on, Ride on Brotha's!! ✌🏽✊🏽✌🏽
Oh boy, 750/3 con cable.. That was a good blast of light!!! Do you bro's work with network xfrms and protectors out in LA downtown???
Good work bruh!! Keep up the good work, splicing at its finest. ✌🙂
CLASSIC!!
Your right its a honest living and only a handful can do it!! Keep up the good work and be safe!!
Outstanding wipe!! Damn, I miss those lead wipin days!! Y lead joints will test your splicing skills.. However a 500mcm, 3phase 3conductor plic joint with a 2/0 plic 3phase tap is sum work!! But fun!! Lead joints are joints not many folks can do!! Anyway keep up the good work!!
Wazzup bhead8001 are you retired now . Were you a Senior or E.D.M ..?
@@linemanundergroundworld4854 Im a retired cable splicer outta the mid-west.
The big white letters in the middle of every video for the entire video is annoying.
Wazzup DrD6452 people were taking my videos as there own , that’s why, sorry for annoying you but regardless there good 👍👍😎
Watched the full video without noticing until I saw your comment. Must just be you tbh
Why have the transformer below secondary on new construction
Love watching your videos, work with a few of yalls ex-employees over where I work.
Great instruction always positive
Very nice system❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the videos. I had the privilege of working on a So Cal Edson crew for 6 of my 7 years with the company. Great work , great people to,work with, and a dedication to keeping the power on safely. Brings back some great memories. Keep up the good work.
Great video; thanks for sharing. Last November, I was looking to purchase a cable scrapper (MCV). I pulled about 300,00 lbs. from underground vaults. As I post this comment, I still want to purchase some MCV trucks. I also purchase cable worldwide from the telecom and power sectors. czcams.com/video/LlLThAdJbog/video.html
Hey brother what does CP stand for? Not a used term where I’m at but I’ll make it one lol
Wazzup thereview , these transformers where used back in the day and not anymore unless they are still working, and these are the temp-transformers we us , because they are internally switched, not the the ones we use today with cutouts and why easy to use and operate, so C.P is short for ( circuit protection ) Internally that is … thanks for subscribing
Well done, first time I have seen this done.
Would be nice if my power company would come and remove their old pole that they left behind in my yard due to a similar issue. Getting ahold of Engineering shouldnt take months.
How hard is it to become a lineman out near Los Angeles?
Wazzup imzova it’s not hard but very demanding as you are learning, and also continue to improve your skills in the trade ,
What company can LATTC get into?
Wazzup bio all they can do for you is to get you trained and prepared to become an apprentice in the company’s that off apprenticeship programs to become journeyman
Sir i want to join ur team.i am also a lineman.
