Basin Electric lineworkers changed out spacers on the Antelope Valley Station-to-Broadland line as part of the day’s training. Note the lineworker in the motorized cart on the power line.
Basin Electric’s high-voltage transmission lines carry up to 345,000 volts of electricity. The thought of working on lines with that much electricity flowing through them is impressive — even more so when you compare that to the time you put your tongue on a nine-volt battery when you were a kid.
While lineworkers are heroes in the electric industry, they are still human, so performing work on energized lines requires special tools, a protective suit, and a whole lot of training. All this is done so they can safely do the work that allows us to light our homes and charge our phones without giving a second thought to where our electricity is coming from.
