Energized Double Circuit Pole Change Part 2/2

why cant they just man up? they already have a 100 thousand dollar bucket truck. cant they just move the wire with the bucket like real lineman?

Just remember: These circuits are live, They have only one chance. "ANYTHING" that is compromised could be FATAL to them!!

Why exactly can't you adjust the insulator arm distance remotely? This seems a major design flaw. Everything else is remoted, why not the spacing?

@Newbie0 In order to do that they would have to install several motors and wiring etc. and that would compromise the dielectric integrity of the unit. And it would probably double the cost of a unit which probably already costs $15000.
