High Voltage Maintenance Training

[racobb]

I have a friend that works for a Co-op and is looking for someone to train/certify one of their crews for 115 kV bare hand bucket work. He says the truck has already been certified. The location is in North Carolina. Anybody have a contact or source. I have searched the internet with no success.

Thanks

Why on earth? It can all be done with proper hot work tools or on properly grounded lines. Bare hand work on hot lines is a risk not worth taking, and is illegal in at least some states.

He asked and I told him I would check it out. Did not say I would recommend it. In fact I am curious if any utilities are doing it, other than from the air.

Thanks
