To quote Davy Jones from one of those Pirates of the Caribbean movies:Is that Rebecca Lobo?
What was he thinking? Cutting a live line like that? Overhead power lines can carry anywhere from 155k to 765k volts! At that voltage you can get arcs that are 10s of feet in length through the air!That had to be scary as Hell!
I'm guessing he thought the guy on the ground had cut the power?What was he thinking? Cutting a live line like that? Overhead power lines can carry anywhere from 155k to 765k volts! At that voltage you can get arcs that are 10s of feet in length through the air!

Yep. I had my foreman do that to me once, when I was an electrician's assistant, but it was only 220...Still knocked me off the ladder.lol, if he can't trust his co-workers in a situation like that, it's time to change your line of work!
Though, honestly. At that power level, you would hear it humming.
Boy, I get nervous just messing with just 120 volts. Which is why I own a variac, isolation transfomer (with floating ground), and the current limiter that I built.

Nah, I used to touch a screwdriver to the sides of an outlet just to wake me up some days. Lol....Never near water, course!Boy, I get nervous just messing with just 120 volts.

Found this guy on Youtube. Seems to me if his employer found out, they may not be happy he is worrying about filming for Youtube while he is doing such a dangerous job lol.Nah, I used to touch a screwdriver to the sides of an outlet just to wake me up some days. Lol....Never near water, course!
