Title Remote handling working techniques for live high-voltage lines
Original title Technique des travaux sous tension à distance sur les réseaux R.T. de distribution [in French]
Bibliographic information May 1972, No.43, p.13-28. Illus.
Abstract The need for live-line work has led to the adoption of no-touch techniques using insulated poles or with sleeves fitted over the live lines to ensure that there is no possibility of the lineman touching a live line or of two lines at different potentials coming into contact with each other. The work procedure is described and an example is given of trouble-shooting on a mechanically operated overhead breaker in the closed position.
