I would like to even be one of the guys that hangs from a chopper with a chainmail suit on with 6 ft plasma arcs coming from their wand...
I'd want the proper training of course...
And a darn good pilot.
"Conduit" dreams (lol You know, "pipe")Sorry, bad pun...
I've always been a little embarrassed with my lack of knowledge on the other side of the meter...
Not to mention that I'm way too puny to wrestle x-KCM sized steel wire in snowstorms...
4/0 Aluminum is bad enough...
Yeah, we've got a 4160/7200 Wye system here, I'm not sure what voltage is feeding them though... 16,600? I'm not sure.
I was very lucky to have been trained by Jim Hixson who, if nothing else, instilled a moral obligation to code and quality work as well as a curiosity in me. Still I'm always finding out how much I've missed from not being in a state that requires schooling for this trade. And yet I also feel I'm one of the better trained electricians in the area... Hmmm..
Please keep these threads going, Scott..
Even on days I'm not posting, I'm still reading it.
