151kv Live Line Hotsticking Video
Here is some information about the video:
Posted by John Ashley, owner, Contractor Safety, LLC. This is a video of Tinker & Mr. Jimmy getting it done in Fisher, Arkansas. These guys are professional, trained and experienced linemen doing one of the most hazardous task on the planet...
HOOKING HOT JUMPS TO A 151,000 VOLT TRANSMISSION LINE. (Don't even think about trying something like this on your own !!!)
I recorded this with my phone while the sun was directly overhead, unfortunately the quality is bad but the content is pretty amazing. From 60 feet above you can hear it arc as the hotstick engages the line. Scary but real. Linemen like this put there lives at risk so you & I can live in comfort. It is no small thing they do. Let's hear it for "Mr. Jimmy" & "Tinker".
