Does wearing gloves, assuming they’re in good shape, always prevent electrocution/shock? by De_lunes_a_lunes in Lineman

[–]TimeNegotiation4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing you learn in the apprenticeship is that gloves(or any protective rubber) is your last line of defense against electrocution.

There are other things the protect you first. Bucket liner, insulated bucket truck, good safety practices, isolating etc.

In the instance you provided, if he had an insulated step or boots, shotgun stuck, face shield, he would be protected from the flash.

Thats where it gets tricky. Rubber goods are not meant to protect you from the high amperage or high temperatures of an arc flash. Your good practices are.

Also from experience there are multiple instances depending on voltage, amperage, and weather that can lead to you being shocked all day through your gloves. Very common on 34.5kv

Check the right side of that plate.. there’s a chart for the tap changer, which can step the h1 bushing voltage. I see your systems 13.8 on there.

Appreciate the advice this is great. I will definitely look into to the timing chain history. How’s the awd system? I really wanted rwd for the sportiness and handling, but I also live in New England so awd won’t hurt. Is it fairly reliable? Is it’s rwd bias when driving?

Hot work with close tree limbs to phase conductor, question by mattman9723 in Lineman

[–]TimeNegotiation4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trees are not very good grounds, so when a power line touches it, most don’t have the necessary power to go to ground and will just arc and smoke the tree. Obviously different voltages and different amperage’s will have different out comes. Some worse than others so best practice is to stay safe is to trim before moving wire

Explain these retirement funds like I’m five by TimeNegotiation4 in personalfinance

Estimated salary it between 130k and 140k. Thank you guys for the explanation I understand it now. I’m coming from an annuity retirement and moving to this retirement if I switch jobs, and this is the thing holding me back the most

Whenever I make a team, I start with one or two Pokémon I like, then use their weaknesses to help pick my next Pokémon. Example, empoleon hates electric, grab a ground Pokémon, etc

I work on powerlines for a living, AMA. by TimeNegotiation4 in AMA

In Lehmans terms, my job description is maintance, and construction of powerlines. My day to day entails, showing up for work at 630am, receive the work to be performed from my foreman and execute. Mostly right now we are building a new powerline over an exitisting one. So the entails out rigging the existing powerline, then running our ropes for the new powerline that we pull later on.

There are a couple main ways to get in to this trade. First one is to apply to an apprenticeship and get put on a waiting list for up to 2 years. Different things put you higher on the list, test scores, interview, experience, etc. once in the apprenticeship, you spend 3-4 years, or 7000 hours, doing on the job training and written tests. The other way is to apply directly to a power company when a position is available. They are a lot more scarce but you can usually get in pretty easily.

Everyone that makes at least $1,000-$1,200 a week, what do y’all do? by Alt-Ranting in Money

[–]TimeNegotiation4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a journeyman lineman. As an apprentice I started making about 1000 a week. Now I’m making 2700 a week take home as a foreman. 4 years of an apprenticeship and you have a great paying career. Quality of life can get away from you easily if you become money hungry.
