I don't have to mess with anything over 480v anymore.Used to do some 2300v.

240 v is my limit - those Linemen are worth every penny they make !

It's not really too big a deal, my exposure is probably less than a low voltage guy because we NEVER work anything hot.
Actually I'm not really a lineman, all we do is reliability testing and P.M. maintenance on transformers, switchgear, relays, power breakers etc....This breaker job we hired done, all I had to do was disconnect the controls and C.T.'s and kill it and lock it out.

And hope they didn;t drop the damn thing on my susbstation:biglaugh:
