The electric company has just fitted a new pole transformer at the
bottom of my garden.
Done the whole job live at 11,000 volts , an hours work.
Personally I kept well out of the way.
Gives you the creeps just watching them work.

I did a lot of live jointing in past .... being a hole surrounded by water
and wet earth ... was interesting ... however scariest I came across was
live jointing on DC traction feeds - and I was only watching.
At least with AC it throws you away ... DC you stay & crisp up.
