How to Perform a Gloved Phase Transfer - Part 1

A Kansas City Power & Light crew performs a three-phase gloved transfer in preparation for subterranean distribution under a freeway. In Part 1 of this two-part video, we see the crew cut away parts of the old distribution pole, attach a new cross-arm to the new pole and use hoists to make attachments to the new pole.

I'm not a lineman; not sure how these videos got in my TH-cam feed. But I keep watching them!

Thank you all linesman for keeping our lights on !!

Changing poles that don’t even need changed lol, Where I live there’s poles still standing from the 40’s

[@ElectroTree01]

Agree. Some old transmission crossarms I got I think we’re rotting and the distribution side crossarms occasionally split depending on what type of wood treatment it had. Love seeing those old poles around and what they did 30,40,50 or maybe even 60 or more years ago.

[@charadremur333]

Is this in burns? I am confused.

[@gblargg]

3:41 How is that not arcing to the crossarm?

[@chasefrank8143]

Because that's the end of a insulator not the conductor

[@smolkafilip]

Is the bucket grounded or are they wearing gloves just in case they touch two phases at once?

[@jackh7977]

Any difference in potential is dangerous not just phase to phase

[@atrociousrabbit4378]

Most company’s require gloves and sleeves to be worn in the primary zone regardless

[@erdinczor1]

Both

I bet you don't get many feminists complaining that this job is mainly done by men.
