Should you get a hot stick, also be sure to get proper HV gloves as a
second line of defense and the proper equipment to test both regularly
like the utilities do. Becoming a charcoal briquette or worse to save a
few hours is something to consider.



Thanks... I have the gloves, and a HiPot tester.

The service on our road is "only" 15KV (well... 14.7), according to the
power company.

Yea, it will "only" blow your arms off, rather than kill you outright...
