I had so much fun yesterday. A high voltage line (12.000 volt AC) was hit by a tractor, and one of the phases got snapped off (no one got hurt). I was just on my way with the scooter to find a place to walk, had my camera with me... And the maintenance team arrived to repair the line. I didn't know them! But I know all about the high voltage line to impress them...
I got to go up in the line cart! It was so coooool. Very tiny little lift to stand in, wobbly as well. I was like 32.8 ft (10 meter) in the air, right above the insulators. Fear of height? Yes sir! That was the point of going up there
I also got to remove the short circuit protection (the yellow sticks), which was crazy! The line was completely shut off, but you must count of inductance. Lucky me!
I made the above picture out of two screenshots from a movie (that I recorded with my camera), so you get more of a panoramic view.
