what the f**k is a high frequency line, all a.c. lines are sent at 50 megahertz, and copper is highly used for both HV and LV lines, whether it be distribution lines or consumers mains!
@stephanosanio fair call the "mega" hertz, was a drunken typo, But, in australia, (where i am) more than half of the distribution lines are still copper. Steel reinforced ally is only used in rural long distance spans. At least in the lines i build anyway!
If your refering to the high frequency lines those are steel braid bundles. power lines normaly only switch copper after downstepped at the transformer box to house hold currents.
no copper is like $3 a lbs and that wire he was pulling on was one of many he was probably targeting . the weight add's up really quick. that wire probably weighed about 40 lbs or more but not more than 90 lbs. so this is actually a good way to make cash .
idiot should of use an ammeter to see if the wire was live, then proceeded to take the wire and by the way some people see copper theft as stupid and some see it as an enterprise.
@pyroaudio1 you mean an ampmeter... and u would use a multimeter, preferably a wiggy which cannot produce false readings. And please tell me how copper theft is an enterprise. These kids are lucky they didnt die, the only thing that probably saved him is the rubber on his shoes, if there was a pin hole in them he would have recieved a deadly 600 volts
@croakerchoker504 no I am positively sure i mean ammeter. it measures the magnetic field around a single insulated or uninsulated ac wire and it absolutely could have killed them but that would have been on them they r idiots.youll be good with the proper protection. and it is an enterprise to me. and personally i have never taken copper off an occupied building, where i get it is not missed by anyone. where is the harm in taking copper out of a building that is destined to be ripped down?
@pyroaudio1 you are retarted and have no idea what you are talking about, ammeters do not exist, whatever you are trying to describe is an AmpMeter, and what you are describing is a voltmeter, it measures small magnetic fields induced by current in a wire, with the wire inside EMT conduit you cannot test the wire. I hope next time you are running your enterprise of copper theft you get blasted with at least 240 volts lol, go get a real job u tardbar
@croakerchoker504 i cant argue with that response, I must be confused but i could swear i had an entire toolbox full of ammeters. its like me telling you that microwave ovens dont exist it just sounds silly. maybe you should google what an ammeter is or wikipedia. and i do have a job i wash dishes for minimum wage and i still guarantee that i made more money than you this year so far.
Not the sharpest nails in the keg, eh? Perhaps I should say not the brightest bulbs in the marquee...and now their little fuses are probably blown!!!

@2452cindy I lolled after after reading 50 "mega"hertz. Almost all distribution line conductors are steel reinforced aluminum, not copper.

the safest way to steal copper is go into condemend building rip out the plumbing

It's bad enough when people steal copper that's just lying around.
But it's another level of stupidity when some idiot tries to steal copper that's being used.

Stealing copper doesn't pay? You could easily make 500 in an hour's work, but it's stupid.
