September 23 – A bulldozer being used as part of high tension power line construction hit a gas transmission pipeline in Proctor, West Virginia. The gas exploded and burned, injuring six of the electrical line construction crew. Another bulldozer had hit a gas pipeline in the same area some months before, killing another worker. [211]
High- and medium-voltage power lines in Łomża, Poland Extra high-voltage overhead line 750 kV. Overhead power transmission lines are classified in the electrical power industry by the range of voltages: Low voltage (LV) – less than 1000 Volts, used for connection between a residential or small commercial customer and the utility.
Interconnections can be tied to each other via high-voltage direct current power transmission lines as well as containing internal DC connections such as the north-south Pacific DC Intertie, or with variable-frequency transformers (VFTs), which permit a controlled flow of energy while also functionally isolating the independent AC frequencies ...

A worker may use a conducting wand during the approach to first make the connection. Once on the line, the worker is safe from shock as both the lineworker and the wire are at the same electric potential, and hence no current passes through their body. This is the same principle as that which allows birds to safely sit on power lines. [3]
