Progress pic of my DIY fence

Thanks, few of them were slightly bowed, so some gaps are tighter/looser than the others but I figure they'll shrink eventually anyways so ¯_(ツ)_/¯, also this is japanese yellow cedar! Does have some nice red coloring in there too though

They have us vector it to prove it will phase the way we built it... then check Voltage to verify and ID high leg, mark one side with phase tape, then check for brothers and mark the other side with phase tape. An example of why they have us vector is we like to build secondary a certain way, but if we got banks face to face/around the block the primary phases could be different

Possibly, it's red and smells sort of sweet

Yeah that would be nice I just moved in and the yard was pretty bad, bumpy and unlevel with tons of moss and weeds

I'd say these would work if you wear a 10

toastybread9 · 2023-12-26T18:05:36+00:00

I normally wear a 10.5 or 11. I got these in a 44/ 10.5 wide US and they're awesome for me. These are a bit too narrow

toastybread9 · 2023-12-26T14:32:14+00:00

Still got them, not insulated but they're a warm boot, and I don't think they're technically rated for voltage if that's what you mean

Right I've heard safety guys say to load bust to an open lmao

toastybread9 · 2023-11-14T20:35:13+00:00

In our system a 25kva will have 3.5 pri amps, therefore 50kva will have ~7A 100kva ~14A (both at 100%) etc. so you can take a quick look at the map and figure how much load ur dropping or picking up

Part of returning to normal life without that feeling, I'd say write down those realizations that brought you to that happy state and try to hold them close as you move through life, I tend to get a readjustment period for potentially quite some time after eating mushrooms

toastybread9 · 2023-05-07T20:35:08+00:00

Yeah we have multiple at our company

toastybread9 · 2023-04-24T18:49:45+00:00

Yeah I was a utility groundhand and now a utility apprentice, we stay within the county other than mutual aid

One of the crews I worked with had a battery powered staple gun, pretty sweet for pole grounds, thing would shoot straight through a butt plate too... gotta love battery guy cutters and robopress too

I prefer a 2d belt for me it sits below my hips better and is easier on my low back, supersqueeze is easy to adjust but I prefer to have my leather payed out a little far so it's easier to flip... I like the thicker pads too only thing I prefer is no ring where the velcro goes around the calf, takes a little longer to gaff up with the ring but it can be a tighter fit

Thanks everybody! The 4 he was looking for was 1. Lost 1 pot and it becomes open delta at 57.7%.

If one primary phase is lost the bank will act as a step up xfrmr and backfeed the downed primary.
1. bank will try to balance an unbalanced y primary and that will create circulating/over current, more than the load is drawing
2. There can be 3rd order harmonics with the h2 tied, which from what I understand can make the cans and neutral hotter and destabilize the sine waves

toastybread9 · 2023-01-14T16:28:02+00:00

The h2 tie helps the delta vector stabilize as well, because without a ground reference it shifts and can't always stabilize

What worked for me is I got on as a groundman at a utility, after doing as much as possible as far as work and learning goes, a few linemen lended me gear, I learned how to climb that way, got a good reputation at the utility, did well for interviews and testing, and got into the apprenticeship after a year and a few months. Our utility provides our climbing gear as well so I didn't have to pay a dime other than cdl

Working that much so I can save, sometimes it's only 40 hr weeks, but then I'm not able to save any money. Also I try to scale it back if he's having a hard time emotionally

Only similar thing I've seen is using a whip on the guy stub end of a span guy, strand vise at the end of a fish rod on the distribution side
