How to Change Out a Voltage Regulator

[@flffox3746]

It's crazy how different things are done in different areas

[@jamesmathews7958]

Lineman for 30 years. That looks like a crew I would like working with.

[@freethinkingamerican80]

Excellent video, explains what we do to those who aren't familiar very nicely. Never installed a regulator but looks easy enough!

[@terry_willis]

Only understood parts of explanation, but this was an excellent video.

[@samschannel531]

Like how the cactus is half as tall as the pole.

[@connormondello1486]

Pole mounted voltage regulator is similar to pole mounted transformer and capacitor bank.

[@electricaltyler5998]

I thought it was a transformer, glad to learn something new

[@bayol7403]

@@electricaltyler5998 a voltage regulator is a transformer

[@connormondello1486]

@@bayol7403 True, but with some differences as voltage regulators control or hold line voltage & transformers step down line voltage to customers.

Shouldn't they have been wearing rubber sleeves as well while working with energized lines?

[@pitshoumbongo]

Not really Because they standing inside an insulated bucket and the conductors are covered with blankets

[@FanoFinz]

@@pitshoumbongo you're name is awesome!! I guess companies have different safety requirements than others. The company I work for requires us to wear sleeves. I love getting to speak to other linemen and finding out how their company does things. Stay safe out there brother!!

​@@pitshoumbongoat our company we would have been fired doing what they did it's ground to ground with rubbers

[@desertviking]

Beautifully done! Texas hands take note!

[@americanenclosures]

At least we wear our rubbers when in the primary

As a contractor journeyman lineman it's not very common for us to get to install a voltage reg. Thanks for sharing. IBEW 1049 🤙

[@linehandibew6205]

1049 here. I’m hanging three of them next week. A B C phase each on separate poles . Setting 3 H2/45’ poles in a row. Looking forward to it. In this case it’s at a radial and it’s for one customer. PSEG needs to boost their voltage from 13.2 to 13.8. Load side of their riser there is one pot that feeds a building. Well hafta upgrade that pot with one that has a tap changer so we don’t boost their secondary voltage and cook anything. You’re right, not many guys on the island have dealt with them. I’m actually looking forward to it

[@connormondello1486]

This new advanced voltage regulator will go up on the the single phase distribution pole to improve Smart Grid deployment and efficiency on the phase itself.

[@orangeofficer528]

I've never seen a voltage regulator on a single phase line.

[@Renville80]

Orange Officer I’ve seen a few over the years, usually on very long rural lines. What was unusual for me to see was voltage regulators installed on a distribution system in a small town (a heavily loaded 2400 delta system).

[@felipearcanjo2908]

Great video. Thanks

[@austin4626]

Great Content!

[@lewy1]

No amp checks when putting jumpers on to verify load.

[@TexasRailfan2008]

Jim Lewandowsky I noticed that as well

[@hoskarwaromi3176]

Good job

[@andygalindo8978]

Great video

[@justsayn5790]

I gotta ask you this quest because I can't find this info anywhere. I own raw land 300' from, end run pole & Distribution Transform on the pole. House is standard 1500' sq ft. There is room for more houses to be added to D. Transformer. (Area requires underground in this area now. I need to get power to the lot via underground: trench & 3" conduit & Handhole box at the property line, all of which I will do). Roughly how much work & (planning if necessary) are required to connect lines from D. Transformer to Handhold box. My guess is the cost of a crew coming out to pull the wire & connect to Transformer and into the box with there connectors. What I'm getting at is how much, roughly, should this connection cost me: 1) crew install 2) material 3) office cost, ie any planning etc. Informative vid. I hope u can offer some info on the install. Thanks

[@ucfsub]

Did you already talk to your utility and they are ok with you trenching and laying pipe? Not knowing where you livd figure in a 4 man crew at a rate of $40-$45 an hour per guy for 8 hours. Not including supplies.

[@justsayn5790]

This took place in Vegas. I know the time factors. I don't agree with your 8 hr time frame.I've had this done in AZ. It took about 2hrs. As for dig'n trench the est was $2,500 by a contractor. I could do it for trench rental & parts $300 for box & $300 for conduit. My problem is with the utility company trying 2 charge me $20,000 connect power from pole that has been in place since 1977. An owner told me a utility company put the pole up and connected for free. Just to get a new customer. What they r do'n in Vegas is Jack'n up the price for connection to keep individuals from building and thereby mak'n it so only Developers can build and build $500,000 houses and get higher taxes than if I build $100,000 house.

[@ucfsub]

It's utility dependent, my utility would put a 4 man crew on it for a day, you really don't have a choice though. Your utility will dictate what and how it has to be done.

The title says “how to change out a voltage regulator”... like we’re gonna need to change one.

[@the00314]

I think i can do it now!

[@TexasRailfan2008]

Yeah! I believe in myself!

[@jeromealbores411]

I want to apply as a lineman in your company

[@JimwombatLand]

Have to be very careful with Regulators.....if one step off it can destroy the regulator and hurt you .....

[@BenjaminEsposti]

Wow, those clamp-top insulators are throwaway junk - clamp once, and that's it.

[@TexasRailfan2008]

Benjamin Esposti well they aren’t meant to be used over and over again
