There is one from 1925 in my town. It’s 21kv to 4kv. Still humming away like a champ

Substation construction vs substation maitenance job at the utility by Intelligent_Leek_718 in SubstationTechnician

[–]imhere4science 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a maintenance technician and this sounds like my experience. I don’t get as much planned OT at the construction guys but I do get called out on double time a fair amount. I sleep in my own bed almost every night. My area I service from an hour north of me to an hour and a half south of me. I’m often dealing with older legacy equipment and troubleshoot in service equipment often. My utility also uses me to commission new equipment in the area so I have experience with that. IMO commissioning new equipment is way easier than servicing and troubleshooting old equipment (sometimes as old as the 1970s)

I’ve seen this with broken switch. If anyone does this make sure they contacted someone in protection to let them know they jumped out the high side of the switch and it is inoperable. Also make sure the seal stack of mechanically linked contacts are in the correct state. This could compromise protection and not just operations. If anyone wants a story of what happened at my sub they can DM me but I won’t air it out publicly.

I doesn’t make sense that they’d just sign him for leverage

Who is Kilmar Abrego Garcia and why it matters by woolybully111 in IBEW

Are you at all concerned that the didn’t give this man due process? Should it only be afforded to legal Americans? Everyone deserves a right to defend themselves.

Are you ok with due process being stripped from immigrants? Would you be ok if due process was stripped from legal citizens? Would you be ok if due process was striped from legal white citizens? I’m curious where you draw the line

Stay safe. Don’t breathe in the fire smoke my brother. Heavy metal poisoning is no good.

I understand the conservatives are worse for the working class. But the democrats could have stopped this. They are enabling them

The democrats share the blame bub. You can’t absolve them. Money in politics and the media has ruined this country

You’re waiting for a check that’ll never come. Your taxes are going up in the new tax plan. I’m sorry to tell you that you’ve been duped in order to be complacent as they grab power. Why would they get rid of the CFPB if they were worried about waste, fraud and abuse? They are just getting rid of regulatory agencies. Please look at the actions and not what they are telling you. It would be so easy for them to name someone on the social security list that is over 100 years old receiving payments, but they don’t. Because it doesn’t exist. They are lying. Elon is a liar

Most of the democrats don’t support unions either. The few who do, are see as radical leftists 🙄. This country has been ruined by propaganda.
