  9. Live Line Demonstration This demonstration was done in two parts: at low voltage and high voltage Demonstrations were done to show the wide variety of items that can be conductors when they interact with live lines

  10. Live Line Demonstration • Items tested: • Tree • Kite String • Mylar balloon • Ladder • Fireman’s boot • Lineman’s boot • Rubber Glove They also showed what occurred when the typically proper shoes and gloves were damaged. When those have holes, they are going to be conductors, just like anything else.

  11. Pole Mounted Transformer Change When a transformer needs to be changed, a lineman will climb up and start preparing the transformer for removal

  12. Pole Mounted Transformer Change The truck operator will be bringing the transformer down with the crane once the lineman has attached it to the crane and removed it from the pole.

  13. Pole Mounted Transformer Change Once the transformer is on the ground, it is removed and a new one is attached. It is brought back up to the lineman for reconnection. Once the transformer is reconnected, the lineman will climb down.
