I’m in, from Georgia USA. Protection Engineer for PoCo. Great to see this awesome channel shedding light on the details of what keeps the lights on in the MV and HV world. 👏🏻
I'm in - Texas. Fellow lineman that loves the technical aspect of our job. I appreciate that you go into depth with substation. My company has a separate department for substation (I work distribution only), so I'm really grateful you get to show us substation information.
I’m in - Pennsylvania. I am a medium voltage electrician for a college. Our crew is rather small and is responsible for all overhead distribution, substations, and all the underground systems. I really watching your videos because we don’t get to work on much overhead distribution because 85% of our system is underground!!

I'm in. I work on Category I-III and in my newest area of responsibility, having comfortable stuff instead of the 8cal/cm² coveralls that make me look like a flying squirrel would be awesome. Wichita, KS
Hi, in Northern MD here. We're working on a 115kV upgrade replacing lattice towers with weathered steel mono poles. 22 miles, two and a half year project. Your videos are informative and in plain english that most can understand. Your emphasis on safety really counts! Keep it up and work safe! 😀
I'm in - Florida. I especially enjoy the safety related aspects of your channel and have used them to educate my students in college studying to be LEOs, EMTs, and Medics about the hazards of electric lines at scenes.
Thanks for the videos. I worked for BC Hydro for over 42 years before retiring . Interesting how the same work is done differently by different companies. I didn't actually work in the line trade directly . Involved helping the line crews install mobile subs and setting electrical protection equipment . We had mobile subs that are designed for 500KV and lower. Our subs all were set up for installation of mobile subs .
I love what you do Aaron. If I ever had the opportunity to change trades, I would go through lineman’s school and do line work. Hope all is well with you and your family.
I'm in, Saskatoon Saskatchewan. Father was a lineman with Saskpower for 45 years. It's very neat seeing first hand (from your pov) what he did for all those years
It's neat watching these videos. I work for a company here GA and we build a lot of this stuff. I do testing on the LLS 2s and I test those at 270kv and I also test the LLS 1s at 131kv and build a lot of the components for the 27kv and 38kv transwitchers. I use to build substation stands for the 27kv/15kv sectionalizer and would build the switches with arrestor brackets and arrestors and wire it all up to the junction box and test it with the control cabinet. Kinda of neat to see some of the things I do out in the field.
I collect insulators, and so I learned a few years ago from my buddies on the insulator collectors web page on Facebook that on the post tie stacks, you can count the number of fins, or skirts below the post tie biscuit to know the voltage. For example, a Lapp 25D1 stack has 4 skirts and rated for 25KV max. And a 35KV unit has 6 skirts.
I'm In! Minneapolis, MN - thats in the USA. I design private wireless networks that are deployed by the utilities industry. I am not a lineman but have great respect for the role and watch Aaron's videos to understand more about the distribution side of the business and appreciate the work that you all do.
I'm In, Northern California, work as an IT/Networks/Security guy for a SCADA/Controls company, we do get out on the field (and the substations) occasionally, to carry out installs, mainly in the Renewables side of things but we also do a LOT of metering work. Thanks for the excellent, hands on, real world videos you produce, they are really interesting.
I'm in. I am in Crystal, Minnesota just west of Minneapolis. I am a bean counter by profession, but always have an interest for all things electrical. Really enjoy how you present the information in you videos.
I'm in, from New Hampshire. Have followed your site for a number of years, all great! Worked with NH Electric CO-OP for 8 years, now in camp maintenance....I do it all.
I'm in, from Virginia. I wonder how many channel viewers appreciate the differences in systems covered by NFPA/NEC, vs IEEE C2, both incorporated into Federal and most states' laws? Or, how many other local, state, and Federal systems interact with grid siting and standards (especially around water crossings)?
I'm in, North Carolina US. Im soon to be out of lineman school and I've been watching your videos for a while and your videos helped me choose to go into the Linework field.
I’m in! Maine USA. My father worked for a electric company in NH his entire career. I remember going to substations with him when I was a kid. There certainly weren’t as many rules/safety regs in the 90’s.
I'm in. Indianapolis, Indiana Stationary Engineer apprentice 2nd year automotive plant. Wear FR clothing daily. The Knox gear looks sharp. We take care of medium voltage for the site.
I’m in from Washington state USA inside wireman/ commercial, industrial electrician. Such a awesome channel showing how everything works in the system along with the work process that goes into keeping it running
Hey, great video! I used to work on the local utility Protection & Control team doing InfoSec to the substations. I visited several and every time I was squeamish when they wanted to show me the yard. That’s a scary place for visitors! HANDS IN POCKETS!!!!
I'm in!! I'm a Lineman from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Not entirely sure where you are in Canada, I might actually be further North of you, you never know???? Love the videos, keep them coming!!
I'm in, Massachusetts, US. Went back in to the trades a few years ago and am halfway to my journeyman electrician license. Love this work and your videos.
Little bit different than how it gets done out my way for the mobile, most of our substations are laid out so drops from the 69kV have more clearance (similar to the overhead wire bus), and we use AL for the risers. Our Live Line guys don't end up using the extra sticks in that fashion, just duck bills on the lines. Different place, different ways of doing things. Always nice to see your videos and compare how things in the industry get done elsewhere.
IM IN!!! I’m from Millbury MA USA currently working for my local utility National Grid and hopefully should going to the field as a apprentice lineman in October!
I’m in, Alberta, thank you for sharing so much information. It has been very helpful in my career as a civil construction pm to understand the terms and safety considerations.
I'm in! I'm from Illinois as well! As an electrician, seeing this type of work is always interesting as I'm dealing with a very different world at times. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I'm in from California. Really enjoy your videos and the window they give into the lineman trade. Helped me make sense of what was going on when in Arizona during a 26hr power outage in 115F temperatures!
I'm in Missouri, United States. Great videos keep them coming, I've always been fascinated with electricity every since I was a child and got hurt on 240 cause I wasn't listening to my parents but Thankfully it didn't hurt me as bad as it could have. I cover severe weather and do storm damage assessments so I'm around power lines all the time but I still leave it up to the professionals such as yourself.
I’m in, Las Vegas, NV US. Never a dull moment in your videos! I often get stuck vid after vid. Thank you for the good content! Stay safe, not much room for errors in this profession.
I’m in Georgia working as an apprentice. I came down from NJ and enrolled in line school after seeing some of your videos and getting hooked. Love this trade and I can’t wait to learn more as I spend more time in it.
Love watching how line work is done. As an electrical engineer that has substation design is is good to watch how the real pros do their job. Do my work out of Colorado
I'm in- local New Brunswick guy here as well. I wear the Geliget FR and Carhart FR. Its good to see more brands offering quality FR out there. Awesome video as always. Stay safe!
I’m in! From Pennsylvania. I enjoy learning about the high voltage stuff. I work with low voltage (data communications), so it’s always interesting to see what’s going on further up the pole!
I'm in, helping launch rockets from Florida. Enjoy all your videos, but especially the substation videos to see how different utilities do things. Speaking of, what is the purpose of the dedicated neutral vs using the concentrics? I didn't see a neutral CT or anything to warrant the separate neutral, if you know? I've never came across that in my experience. The Knox stuff looks good! But, I don't see any ATPV / Cat or cal ratings listed on the website. I see the NFPA 2112, but without the ATPV rating I'm not sure if the shirts would qualify for the arc flash requirements for the electrical industry for outer wear. Still would make great undershirts if no ATPV rating. Stay safe.

I'm in Ohio, most of our 138Kv & 69Kv subs have a dedicated pole w/ cut outs for the mobile rig. Makes tapping up the primary easy and safe.
