Removing ice from power lines in Canada

I assume it’s a rubber / plastic stick, that way isolating the drone from electrical shock.:zap:

Pretty sure the drone wouldn’t get a shock anyway as it’s not grounded (in the same way birds can sit on power lines without getting fried).

I think that is as long as they don’t touch a second wire - like if spreading wings, I’m sure I learned this back in school ( many years ago now ) I think 🫨😅

I think the drone would have to be massive to straddle the insulators to ground Rich, but never say never. :saluting_face:

I was on about when a bird sits on a wire Colin,
If they make a circuit Bzzzzzzz :boom:

Thats what I mean, Rich, trust me, the only damage a drone will recieve is if it actually hits the damn things! Chance of electrical interference is virtually nil too. :wink:
