Frequently Asked Questions
Grounding provides a controlled path for electrical current to return to the earth, reducing the risk of electric shock, equipment damage, and fires, especially in unpredictable storm conditions.
Grounding de-energized lines ensures that accidental energization does not pose a lethal risk to line workers, protecting them from electrical shock or electrocution.
Best practices include rapid damage assessment, temporary grounding installations, wire guard deployment, crew oversight, and equipment verification to ensure safety and compliance with standards.
Tree crews clear debris and tree limbs while ensuring lines are grounded to protect against induced voltage, enhancing safety during restoration efforts.
