LENOIR — On Thursday, April 4, students, first responders and members of the public all assembled outside CCC&TI’s Electrical Lineworker Institute to attend a live wire demonstration by Duke Energy. The demonstration began at 10:30 a.m. and covered basic information on electrical line work. Duke’s goal in conducting these kinds of demonstrations is to protect and educate members of the public, first responders and other interested parties.
According to Robin Nicholson, district manager of government and community relations with Duke Energy, the live line demo trailer is a portable education and training tool the company uses to provide basic information on the functioning of electrical lines and associated equipment, of personal protective equipment, of standard practices for repair and maintenance of lines and common situations in which live, damaged wires could threaten life or property.
