electric shutdown.

[dannyT]

Took this lime down this week. It was situated next to electric poles so had to be earthed whilst the tree was dismantled. First power shutdown ive done so was a little uneasy. At first kept having visions that the power was going to come back on . The electric engineer remained on site so this gave me some confidence, so it was on with the job. Started at dinner and had until 4 to get the tree down, then the power was coming back on. All went to smoothly, im glad to say....................

Did the Linesman show you on a map where the lines where isolated & both sets of earths was placed?

Not to me personally, but i prusume he did to the bloke who i sub for (who was also present.) At around 4 o clock some more workers turned up climbed the electric pole and un-earthed it.

 

As i said this is the first shutdown ive done but it seemed to me that all correct procedures where followed..............
