Rob Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That style of wire is either 7200, or 13.4kv. Don't take long to incinerate when it's straight to ground. They are not insulated to allow for ambient air cooling.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Olivetroad Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Wow! Great photo showing the red embers INSIDE the log load! I always look up before I do anything around a energized line - I swung a bucket truck boom into a 69 transmission line years ago and blew the shoes off a guy leaning on the truck. That does not help your workmans comp mod. He forgave me, came back to work, and was the best employee I ever had. I still kid him that I did it on purpose because he should have been working instead of leanin'!
