Live-line switch job ties in 44 000 volt line in Bennington
A Central Vermont Public Service crew with A B Chance linemen performed a first of its size live-line switching near Bennington's Mt Anthony High School site. Three new switches inserted in a 44 000 volt circuit avoided outages, using a hotstick bucket truck and long insulated tools. The operation required careful coordination among CV, Chance Co., and Pitman Co. personnel to reroute high voltage lines without power shutdown.
