I thought Gerry’s disclaimer was adequate.
That’s what’s great about this board. Not everyone has the same opinion.
I have been close to at least 3 serious situations where safety protocol was not followed and where it resulted in serious injury. Maybe I’m just sensitive on this issue.
Michael, you are quite right, it really isn’t a joking matter hence my added comment. Unfortunately my sense of humor (and enjoying busting John so much) gets the better of me.
Maybe, the extra comments about my post will serve to warn members even better than I could have expected.
Anyone who has attended my electrical classes knows that I am very serious about electrical safety, I will be more circumspect in future.
Regards
Gerry
Works for me Gerry. i like Red.
lol
Well…okay, and I didn’t enjoy the vision of John up there with a clamp-on. :-;;
Update - client informs me that Ashton Woods encroached upon the utility easement and is having the power company move the pole line at Ashton Woods expense.
These are the kind that make you feel good about your job.
Nice work John !!!
I am not sure you will find the answer in the NEC. The general rule is 8’ up and 3’ out but that is for less than 600v. That looks like 12kv
Take a look at a common practice in the city of Chicago.
Notice (hard to make out) the very top 12KV wires near the windows.
Sure can’t tell from the perspective in my shot but you can be stupid and touch those with a broom stick…:shock:
