33kV Live Tension Insulator Replacement

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 23 июн 2015
  • 33kV tension insulators are replaced by linemen working in Ceylon Electricity Board, at Kurunegala, Sri Lanka using insulator cradle and hot-sticks without interrupting power.
    The method shown in the video is called Hot Stick method introduced in US in early 1910s with wooden sticks. Since this is live 33 kV potential, class 04 protection gloves with over gloves are normally required. However usage of Hotstick while keeping minimum safety distance from the live parts eliminates the requirement for bulky and difficult to handle insulated gloves. Therefore gloves are not used.

    Much respect to these Linesmen who are having to work under difficult conditions and without some of the more sophisticated equipment available to others. I sincerely hope those insulating poles get regular dielectric testing for safety back at base. Just over two foot seems remarkably close to be working with 33kV. Thanks for posting your video.

    Fascinating to watch that. Quiet, calm & so respectful of each other & the live lines they are on. I do not know why there are silly comments on gloves, as they can get in the way sometimes, esp: in a hot climate. Cannot wear rubber gloves in that heat! I once saw a line man in the hospital I was at up north of England, with his whole right arm & some of his right leg missing, with severe burns down his body. He'd been zapped by 33kv working near the electric railway lines. He thinks that fact is arm vapourized saved his life. He was in good typical Geordie spirits about it. Wow. Great respect for those men who do this.

High in the mountains, you'll see 20% more discs on the lines up there. For example, below 7,000 ft or 1.75km altitude... 15kv distribution line has 2 discs, this 34.5kV line has 3 on vertical and 4 on the ends, where electical tensions are higher. A 69kV line has 4 to 5 hanging down plus 7 to 8 when used on end and turns. 115kV line has 7&9. 230kV has about 15 and 22, 500kv has 24 &30.

    Yes, this is "work under tension". There are basically 3 ways of this work: 1. "work at a distance" 2. "work in contact" 3. "work on potential". In this demo, distance work is done. For all types of work under voltage, precise technological procedures must be approved and a so-called "special mode of operation" must be arranged.

    That was an amazing insight into what’s involved in live transmission line work. Neutralising a large bomb pales into insignificance in comparison to this work. I reckon that very dry weather conditions with minimum humidity is essential. Any dampness equates to a fatal conductivity path for the linemen. Continuing safe work to these men.

    Cool! Yeah working on live lines really isn't as dangerous as people would think, as long as you follow all the steps and precautions and don't try to show off and don't lose focus. I've heard it can get uncomfortable at higher voltages though, if you don't have a hot-suit. The electricity corona discharging off of you feels like needles poking your skin, (or so I've heard) and the 50 or 60 hz vibration runs through you.

    My late father was an electrician. I used to watch him climbing into electric pole with a special shoes on to fix something and my heart was dropping out of my chest. I was so afraid even to go under high voltage power lines ,especialy in stormy weather, when they are making 'fireworks', nevermind to climb on it. Used to count how many cables still on the towers before crossing them in very fast run. Road to my school was crossing triple high voltage power lines and I've been told not to go any closer if any cable is broken and on the ground. Before I learned to read I knew that broken down power cable can kill from distance,when it reaches soil. My childhood worst nightmare:)

    It looks like the insulator (old) was rusted at a long time ago. Do you know what happens when electricity and rust mix together? First, interference. Second, which was caused by the first effect, since there is an interference, all the electric from the high-voltage line will store in to the rust. Last but not least, blackouts.
