The average consumer has no idea what goes on beyond their consumer unit! Build absolutely nothing any where near me but just you make sure that I have electricity whenever I want it 😂

Wow. What a job to replace one insulator. Lots of practice to get each step just right. No room for mistakes. Well done.

I was nervous just watching them, total respect for anyone working like this .

That was amazing, those guys were so calm. Just one bad move and its a trip to the funeral director! Even the cameraman had a steady hand.

Thank God things went well. May God protect the men who keep the lights on.

I’m impressed, most videos of linemen from pacific rim countries don’t wear shoes.

I am sorry but it takes a man with nerves of steel to work in that environment. Nothing but respect, but count me out.

Proud to see a detail video like this from Sri Lanka Superb (y)

Incredible team work, well orchestrated. Flelicitations.

Yes u could easily tell they worked well together especially because there was very little talking. They were in sync.

These guys were working like a well oiled machine, no yak-yak-yak, just a quiet respect for the power they were working with.

Well, rbagel55, the lines are obviously grounded. Unless they wanted their rope to electrocute them.

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.

@@VagishaDas Each insulator is designed for 10 to15 kV each. This'll vary based on climate, humidity, pollution, and altitude. 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.

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.

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.

Very professional.

great video for sure

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:)

I can feel your concerns, but we know that without a map, without a compass and even without knowing what's the destination, human voyaged thousand of miles on unending sea thousand years ago. That's how we built the civilizations. We have to take the risks, main priority is that those risks shall be evaluated and appropriate measures shall always be taken to prevent them happening.

good jobs guys

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.
