RE: A Day With A Lineman #26 ~Wheat Harvest Put on Hold~

The farmer driving the combine, aka his insurance company.
As for the panel that burnt up, he will be paying that too.
It was a 480v panel that was CT metered and blew the fuses past the customers disconnects
I just open the cut-outs above the transformer and check voltage and I am out.
This is goin to be a hefty bill for the farmer. Not just the pole, but the burnt up panel too. That stuff isn’t cheap either.

Sort:  

If you hear a rumor of a price tag, I’d be interested to know what that one costs.

I will see what I can find for ya brother. I know people on the inside that can get me that info 😉

Somewhere around $25,000. Ouch!! That is just the bill from us.

Dang!! I bet he doesn’t do that again.

Edit: And thanks, I always wondered.

The pole the switch and the hours. Doesn’t include fixing the meter panel that burnt up or hi equipment. Double ouch.
I wondered what the cost would be too.
