S2 E9 News in the Industry

We talk about how weather dictates the outcome of some tests in the field. You can get the values to change with just using a heat gun on the part you are testing. Why do we even test bushings? What do they use that data for? We go over some recent substation explosions that made the news in Utah and New York. What would be an acceptable time for a power outage to be considered "just a flicker"? It was just a flicker, no big deal!

We have Zach back with his wife Mylinda to help complete the Spicer Story that we started to hear about back on January 7th. This is an incredible reminder on how quickly things can change. Zach experienced a flash while at work. He had and is still having many surgeries to try to get back to normal as much as possible. Mylinda also tells us her side of the nightmare they lived through together. They also go into the Line Brother's Keeper Organization more and how they can help if you or a loved one ends up in a similar situation.

In this episode we have special guest Chris. He is very knowledgeable about the electrical security side of the industry. He is a professional hacker and is a huge help in keeping our grid safe. Chris assisted with the under-submarine line in Texas to go under the international shipping channel. He tells us about one time that meth and a giraffe were involved in vandalizing stations causing millions in damage. Remember that safety rules are written in blood. When a problem arises at work or personal you can work it out over coffee and donuts or off the clock with Bourbon and BBQ.
