Everything looked good. We can’t wear vest around energized circuits their not FR and we have to wear sleeves before we even open pad mount transformer
Wow. I don't fully know what is going on. But WoW! This is something I could never understand unless you have somebody working in this field. Oh yeah right Or youtube
Alot of places dont require capes or shields. None of my companies have except if your working three phase meters or dedicated meter techs. But i have seen a guy grab a dummy plug by the tail and scream lol. So you know that shit is necessary!
The company I retired from for more than 35 yrs required face shields for 480 and above. I switched everything from 208-765 kva high voltage switching.. it was required..
My company we require face sheilds even on 240. Doesn't matter dude. Still can get hurt. And when a ark flash happens you wish you was wearing it. Or glad that you was.
0:03 if you need your colleagues to be educated about PPE, maybe they shouldn’t be working in the first place. Stack shelves or flip burgers instead. Wait, they will encounter problems there too.
I don't work with electricity. I have no technical or trade education of any kind. But, there is one thing I know. No one can post a video involving a trade without a pile on of guys talking about how one thing or another isn't being done "the right way."
THEY HAVE TOO..ITS STRICT JOB AND 100% CAUTION ON EVERY EMPLOYEE...IF THEY MADE ONE ERROR THAT LEAD INJURY TO OTHERS OR KILLED..THEY ARE TERMINATED ON THE JOB
Where I work, (northern Illinois) we are not required to wear sleeves while switching URD. The only time we need sleeves is when working in the energized MAD.
In Ontario, if not all of Canada you won’t find sleeves. We definitely have to be wearing all of our PPE and FR clothing. The only thing we do different is we always take an amp check before we pull an elbow to confirm whether we are breaking parallel or dropping load. Also all of our new pad mounts have internal switches that we operate before pulling or close after installing elbows.
He's fucking standing right there. Don't be stupid. He's preparing to work on that transformer, he isn't in a mill or whatnot where there's going to be another shift coming in.
@@Dynamice1337 if he’s standing right there...why put it on there at all? No need to even have the lock out tag....why even have the words do not operate on it?...if he’s standing right there....🤷♂️
I work for a company that rebuilds transformers. It’s cool to see how they’re worked on in the field.
We have to report on the line before grounding. I guess other utilities do it differently.
No drain on the dust cover.

Their vests are cat 2. And they are expensive! Ours are like 170 bucks I think for just the basic ones

Static caps aren’t grounded from the feed through elbows. Plus, the switcher isn’t wearing any switching cape nor a face shield.

Every wrong way is established when somebody died.
What are the canisters of liquid inside of the transformer when it is first opened?
Cable cure it extends the life of the cable.
Bet they make bank 🤑
When open the transformer cover i see two bottles. What are used for? SF6?
Its called cable cure. It extends the life of the cable.
@@Linehand Thanks. Have you got a reference to see how il works?
Eu nem sabia que isso existia.
No one notices the guts of the feed through pulled out? Trash throw it away
Workers have to sign so if they get injured the company's not at fault.
:(
They signed to say they discussed ppe . Pretty common in workplace

That was a tailgate safety discussion. Gotta do one every job. Doesn't have to do with liability.
They're preaching about safety yet he's operating in a hot padmount with a non fr safety vest and no hot sleeves.

where he bends over at 2:09 you can clearly see there is a "2" written for cat 2 fr. They would never give electrical distribution men non fr vests...

That tag out was not locked out...not good.
I love when I see safety guys in the comments
I noticed that to. My guess is that you cannot use anything metal on the connector.
