A Day With A Lineman #30 Substations Explained

Welcome back everyone to another edition of A Day With A Lineman. Today I am going to give you all a little explanation of what a Substation is and What it does. Identify a few components and tell a little about them. I tried to use the best terminology for a simple explanation but I probably failed miserably. So feel free to ask questions.

I spent most of the day doing Substation Inspections. Which, for a guy like me, can get me a little stir crazy.
Check this...what is the reading on that?... verify this.....inspect that.... oh well it has to be done.

Again, please please do not attempt to enter these substations. You have no reason to be inside the fence nor do you have any permission. Many people have died by not obeying the signs that are placed all around these substations.

Thanks for coming along on another Day in the Life of a High Voltage Electrical Lineman.

I hope you enjoy
And like I stated way to many times in the video, feel free to ask any questions.

Safety tip:
Electricity....you can’t see it, smell it... or hear it. But it can kill you in an instant.
Stay clear of any overhead lines that may have fallen on the ground and call the proper people.
Stay Safe
