About reciprocating charging handles...unless you were making a joke yourself.
13,200 based on the load tap changer setting.
Yeah they were pretty tracked up. Worst I've seen.The pieces of bus replaced some jumpers. The way it was originally set up was the feeders came in and hit some old MOV surge arrestors with jumpers going up to the primary bushings.
The customer/utility had added the newer arrestors up on the pole at some point. So the boss said to yank those old porcelain MOV arrestors since they tend to explode like a grenade when they fail.
We also changed out a failed fuse in the switch... That sucker was $3k

Probably. I don't mess with old ones much. Mostly hook them up on new installs. The little gasket between the paddles and the porcelain on the bushings looked pretty sketchy... We actually touched/jostled them as little as possible. It just looked like one of those deals where the more stuff you touched the more it would fall apart.

Is there some kind of advantage to a recip charge handles that I'm not aware of?
I keep seeing setups with them and I just think, "Do you not need skin on certain parts of your hand?"
Mike
That's going to leave a snail trail on the seat...
Not enough tongue weight, shoulda pulled that car a little further forward on the trailer.
I've done that, just not that bad of results. Many years ago. When I let off the gas, it got worse. When I touched the brake, it got way worse. Tried accelerating, worse. Just had to ride it out and wound up in a shallow ditch. Pulling a poorly designed pipe trailer loaded with pipe. Only 1 way to load it.
Found this demo that shows me what was wrong.
