Bare Hand & Hot Stick Live Line

Taken during bare hand training near Brendale Queensland Australia.
Carried out LIVE at 110,000 Volts
Martin and Kyle demonstrate bare hand techniques.

[@tracyhawley8829]

After 42 years as electrician and working on 480 volts that seems like Childs play next to this

[@MontanaIR]

I been an electrician for over thirty years, yet every time I watch linemen at work I am awed at what they do. I have the ultimate respect for these guys working day or night in whatever weather to keep the rest of us working. Never felt the calling to be an outside guy.

[@chelsiewebster666]

Terry Ross i think youll find its a lot safer than the domestic work. im a hv electrician and we take safety way more seriously than the lv sparkies

[@LuciferMorningstar-ix3lb]

There is no such thing as working at night.

[@jaywillow9927]

Dude, it's easy to be a lineman, Once you see that money which allows you to buy any fucking thing you desire in life, you're fine wearing gloves and touching high voltage, Know how much money these guys make? Nobody wears hot ass rubber on their body which drips sweat because they love the work. They love the money. Don't be in awe of what they do. One of those guys makes more money than 10 minimum wage workers in a lifetime. The money drives them. You'd be fine wearing thick ass rubber gloves for 100 grand a year. Your wifw would hope you die so she gets that million dollars. It's money dude, it's all about the money when it comes to powerlinemen.

[@TheAustrianLineman]

we in austria never work on an switched line !! This is to dangerous, big respect on this guys.

[@kevcom000]

Bruce Wayne lol tell that to the dte workers I see at my Gastation at midnight though I guess they are just driving around for fun at night not actually fixing lines

[@toddhunter3137]

These guys do a absolute first class job in the most extreme of situations! I've seen a few of these kinds of videos on KZbin, so now everytime I switch the light on I think of all these fantastic guys! Thanks 👍👍👍👍.

[@electrocarbid]

What a nightmare! I instantly start sweating when I see that. These guys needs really good nerves and very good guardian angels...

where can i get a set out outers (gloves) like they have ?

[@joekev27]

This is my dream job.

[@singhmikey9965]

Salute you guys..

[@joelusyotu9939]

El liniero nunca debe de estar mascando chicle o alguna otra sustancia en su boca mientras esté conectado a potencial de línea. Una descarga que sufra le hará el atragantamiento con el material que se le engulla en su garganta. (The lineman should never be chewing gum or any other substance in his mouth while connected to line potential. A shock you suffer will make you choke on the material that is swallowed up in your throat). saludos desde México de un compañero liniero.

Insulator changeout?

You are real hero

[@diltakchannel9707]

real hero

[@BluntForceTrauma666]

That's cool as shit. I never realized that is how the conductors are attached to the end of the insulator string.

[@onegmsgmailcom]

wtf they working under power ON? :D

[@EltonsakuraJim]

yes..good job...

[@RavinderKumar-jb1ns]

U r super human sir hat off to u

[@jbloom4]

why do they use the insulated poles to fasten the wire to the clip if they are already safe from shock hazards? seems easier to just continue working by hand

[@egnspoons]

The basket we are standing in would bridge the gap between earthed metal and energised 110Kv....not good, therefore we need to remain 2m away from the earthed steel.

[@tadass.2675]

It looks to me that they dont want to create a circuit between the conductor and the tower-workers bodies may act as conductors by "covering" the insulator. First they strapped the conductor to their hook, then with sticks unscrewed the conductor from insulator, then pulled it away from the tower so the work could be done. And I have doubt that the arm is conductive, otherwise they wouldnt dare to touch a live wire as they would be fried instantly +eggnspoons .

[@Muck-qy2oo]

I love to play with sparks too.

[@ryanbrooks3443]

You guys do know that those high voltage lines right?

[@richardwhinyates56]

Love it want to do it myself

[@egnspoons]

we have to maintain a safety clearance from the tower which is at earth potential. the basket could provide a path to earth via the arm below us

[@phuang3]

eggnspoons What's the safety distance? And, what is the voltage level in this video? At 0:23, the basket is very close to the hot line.

[@achchhelalkushwah4560]

Great👍

[@Sterlingjob]

Is there still current leakage through insulators?

[@aaronkalapaca9228]

Na. Every insulator is rated for 20kv. They all add up to the value needed. ie 25 insulator stand is good for 500kv. Current only flows to a source. So no leakage

[@sankardharmadharma7733]

Very hart work

[@Muck-qy2oo]

How can the current go through their body without closed circuit? Capacitive effects?

[@LunaphaseLasersOfficial]

+Muck2014 A bit late (well, a lot late) but those suits act as a faraday cage.

[@Muck-qy2oo]

Ok, thanks!

[@LunaphaseLasersOfficial]

Muck2014 No problem. The basket they're in is also isolated from ground, so they're about as safe as a bird that lands on the line.

[@kashmirengineeringvision]

i had a question please answer anyone if i am hanging on a. 220kv line without wearing this insulated suit can i recieve shock

[@kashmirengineeringvision]

i need an answer not a suggestion

[@RAYTHEONGAMING]

@@kashmirengineeringvision that was an answer... Any lineman will tell you there is almost no such thing as too much precaution or protection when working with electricity unless it severely limits mobility. Don't take chances it only takes one small error and you are are gone.... Not trying to be a dick just stating fact Do you really think you can fuck around with a 220kv line safely without protection? Come on man

[@kashmirengineeringvision]

that what i need clarification why i feel shock at 220kv without completing circuit what is that circumstance which gives me shock

[@RAYTHEONGAMING]

@@kashmirengineeringvision it's moving through the air

[@kashmirengineeringvision]

wht will happen when it passes through air please give me a brief explanation

Под напряжением это конечно интересно. Но жизнь человека не сопоставима со стоимостью временного отключения линии. Покрайне мере риск под напряжением получить электротравму намного больше. Спецодежда и оборудование конечно отличное.

No offence to any " housing electrician" but this right here is not just skill but also a different mindset that anything can happen at any time and to accept the outcome. This is not your " home Electrician " this here is for serious work and I personally bow out against any of these guys. With all this Female in male roles coming out where are the Lineswomen!!!! ....
