Yeah, those fellas have some major heavy-duty insulated gloves. :-)

Ours (telco) are rated to 20kv, the local power utility's to 35kv.

And, yes... We test everything before touching it following a storm.

Still, with all the idiots out there, and the increasingly popularity of

two-male-ended cord and plug 'er in without a thought to open the main breaker
or pull the meter.
