I found a string of these yesterday on the ground in the woods about fifteen feet off a road a use every day. They look exactly like those they are working on and the porcelain disks are in pristine condition. The metal top on some are pitted from the weather but otherwise in good shape. here are six disks and a very rusted clamp with some heavy gauge stranded copper wire still in it. The poles that run along this road do not have these type of insulators so I figure at some time the utility company replace the old ones and the one I found was discarded. The disks are 10 inched in diameter. The ink under the glazing reads PINCO 1959-15000 lbs. I assume they were manufactured in 1959 and they are capable of resisting a 15000 lb load. Anyhow, I brought them home and cleaned them up. I have no idea what I will do with them but they are just too cool to have left in the woods.
Working inside angle ! Had the rope sling got cut or come loose come loose or broke while the string was disconnected employee on inside of that angle would have had the full strain of that span applied to that jumper. Would have been hurt and or pulled out of that bucket. Always think a step ahead “ what if this happens “. This is the way lineman must plan their work.
I see why if you are doing it while grounding just in case human error or something but after I don’t really get it unless there is underbuild or something.
@@ElectroTree01Well you should always wear gloves while grounding because I've seen the line have enough static to draw an arc. Especially if the primary is close to a transmission line somewhere, the static can be crazy.
@@Robmancan1987 I agree, I've heard of that happening before but I guess I didn't think of it when writing the comment. I think you mean inductive coupling and/or capacitive coupling instead of static.
Knot tying skills leave something to be desired. Apparently you don’t have nylon strap slings or a becket to wrap around the bell. The sling should be set up so the hook of the puller rides between the bells so you don’t break the porcelain on the bell you’re attached to. Other than that, not bad for a first year apprentice.
Isn't it dangerous to be on that side of the line? (im not a line man just something that caught my attention) I mean if somehow the winch or the rope snaps the line falls and will pull you against and possibly out from the bucket.
Yes wearing gloves on a grounded line doesn’t make sense, but especially on 69kv as there are no gloves rated for that voltage. Also why didn’t they have a sling to the pole and attach the hoist to the sling.
This might be the dumbest rigging I’ve witnessed to change s bell. Lucky you didn’t break another one, cut the rope and lose a phase. Please rig off the pole then lash your bells to the strap. Better luck next time.

I also found a string of these in the woods, took them home but now don't know what to do with them. What did you end up doing with yours?
@@Choukai_Kai oh wow thats quite a lucky find! Mine are identical to the ones in this video. What are you going to do with them?

“ you godda bail?” 😂
Crazy they make you wear rubbers while grounding and while working after it's grounded.

Awesome 🙂👍💪
Nice job
Good work

The crews here sometimes carry slings. I get what you mean by that.
Hi thanks for posting, why do you connect the phases together?
And arent those called petty coat insulators. Thnks again for posting.
They grounded the lines to work on them . Non energized lines , grounded just in case they became energized.
@@jonwillard3198 how did he grounded it... He just connected 2 phases right?? Or one of them is neutral line?
@@sknirav4053 There is another bonding jumper going to the top phase that is out of shot.
No, they aren't petticoat insulators. Petticoat insulators are the pin type insulators mounted on top of crossarms.
Pull cotter key on ball Clovis when there is still strain. Comes right out.
* Clevis
Where do they find them at

A striking example of how not to do work.

so basically the whole thing is hold by few pins
Actually no, there's a ball or clevis and that supports tye weight. The cotter pin he took out just holds those together so they don't shift out.
@@electron2601 Correct
Rubber gloves on a grounded line….makes sense
Pole is wood😃😃😃
Not how I would’ve done the job, but do you Tex
115kv
those are thick insulators
There suspension insulators i think
While fixing one, breaking others... They are very fragile, don't hit them
My experience with porcelain is if you expect it to break it probably won’t but when it touches itself in a harmless way it explodes.

OMG Dumb and dumber!!!!!!! It hurt my eyes 😁😁😁😁😁🙆🙆🙆🤦🤦🤦
Can't tie a knot, tie alot
Shitshow from start to finish. The End.
No pueden mostrar este trabajo esta mal hecho puesta tierra es una risa cuando la colocan deben asesorarse ante de hacer esto.

I got dumber watching you tie what is supposed to be a knot.
Next time when you record something like this make sure not to post it sorry but the only thing i got out of this video was a few laughs
