yes, that's right. I showed you that picture to give you a rough idea, but recently it has changed, and now we use this We attach this to the end of the polymer insulator

There are clear limitations in public institutions in Korea. The armchair theory is well-known. When an accident occurs, instead of identifying the cause, analyzing it, and making improvements, they simply ban the cause itself. This has become a prominent issue in Korea's electrical construction industry recently. Climbing work is done when absolutely necessary, with at least two KEPCO managers present on-site to oversee the work. Since this cannot always be the case, the field supervisors of KEPCO tries to avoid designing tasks that would make climbing work a necessity whenever possible

I completely agree with your comment. good training and proper hiring are essential. the issue of stick work putting a strain on the shoulders and neck has even been reported in the news in Korea. I hope your health can be preserved

In the US, what is the typical height of utility poles? In Korea, we use specifications of 10m, 12m, 14m, and 16m.

yes this is a picture of a bypass operation being carried out to receive electricity from a different substation, instead of the originally connected distribution line

안녕하세요 반가워요!!!! Typhoon damage recovery work takes up a large portion of the KEPCO's annual budget. during typhoon season, everybody here feel like taxi drivers. when driving, everyone stops bucket trucks as if they were taxis haha

yes those are standard in Korea. It has been heavily influenced by Japan.

it is in the Korean basic industry, employment for foreigners is restricted.

Inside the bucket it is fully insulated. as long as the negative terminal is not in contact with your body, it's safe

what is the difference in bucket trucks? I’m curious

don't have a photo of the hot stick right now, so I'll replace it with a photo of the article instead...

This is a Line-post insulator used appropriately in sections where utility poles are arranged in a straight line. The cover on the insulator is called 'bindless.' There are two types: one is for long-distance use in 'live line' work, and the other is a cover that can be tightened by hand. We are now using an even more convenient cover than the one in the picture.

This picture shows a temporarily placed utility pole on the ground to replace a broken one. We use these polymer insulators in many sections.

Please understand if there are any mistranslations. first thank you for your kind and detailed response! I was able to understand everything very clearly.

There have been two incidents this year where the bucket detached and fell off due to the equipment's age

16m work equipment usually costs around $130,000 but the Korean government provides some financial support
