finished off the 5 g tower install today, beautiful weather for it and 15 mtrs high, pretty scary up there when installing the heads as they are heavy

I was called out today to a lamp post internal fire. Because they run off 500A fuses they don't blow, just keep fizzing until we shut them down.

Doesn't this defeat the whole raison d'etre of fuses?

No they run off the national grid at 500A. The lights are down fused to 6A

 

[Highway Man]

Once the 6A fuse blows to the light you have a 500A fuse running the grid. So the mains as in the picture runs off 500A. A bit like a house has a 100A supply.

Amazing when you work at height what you see that you don’t notice at ground zero. A nice surprise when I went up today.

 

[Highway Man]

This is what you can see just driving along this road.

Then get up to height and a wonderful sight. This is why I enjoy my job so much. I feel very blessed being in this job and being so talented.

 

[Highway Man]

Can’t think of a better work place and place to be in this weather.

30 metre climb. Gorgeous day and perfect climbing conditions. Last time I was here was in the freezing cold and snow. Not so enjoyable.
