Please write safety guidelines for pulling a network cable through a 6.6kV 3-phase feeder

Chat GPT 4:

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Working near or around high voltage electrical systems is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by trained, certified, and experienced professionals. The following safety guidelines are general in nature and should not replace the need for consulting with a qualified electrician or engineer when working with high voltage systems. Always follow local regulations, standards, and the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

Safety Guidelines for Pulling a Network Cable through a 6.6kV 3-Phase Feeder:

        Proper Training and Certification: Ensure that only trained, certified, and experienced professionals are allowed to work on or near high voltage electrical systems. This includes pulling network cables through a 6.6kV 3-phase feeder.

        Shut Down Power: If possible, shut down the power to the 6.6kV 3-phase feeder before starting any work. Use proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure that the electrical system remains de-energized during the entire process.

        Use Insulated Tools and Equipment: Utilize insulated tools, ladders, and other equipment specifically designed for high voltage applications. Avoid using metallic or conductive materials near the feeder.

        Maintain Safe Distances: Keep a safe distance from the high voltage feeder while working. Follow local regulations and standards for minimum safe working distances from energized equipment.

        Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, such as arc flash clothing, insulated gloves, safety glasses, and face shields. Ensure that all PPE is properly rated for the voltage levels you will be working with.

        Segregate Cabling: If possible, run the network cable through a separate conduit or cable tray to minimize the risk of contact with the high voltage feeder. Avoid running network cables parallel to high voltage lines for extended distances.

        Use Shielded Cabling: Use shielded network cables to minimize the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the high voltage feeder, which can potentially degrade network performance.

        Implement Grounding and Bonding: Ensure proper grounding and bonding of the network cable and other components to minimize the risk of electrical shock and reduce EMI.

        Test Before Touching: Use voltage detectors or other testing equipment to verify that the feeder is de-energized before working on or near it.

        Emergency Procedures: Establish and follow emergency procedures in case of an incident, including knowing the location of nearby fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and emergency exits. Ensure that all team members are trained in CPR and first aid.

Remember, the guidelines provided here are general in nature and are not a substitute for consulting with qualified professionals, following local regulations, and adhering to equipment manufacturer's recommendations when working with high voltage systems.

"Both in its 2019 decision and its decision this February, the USCO found the âoehuman authorshipâ element was lacking and was wholly necessary to obtain a copyright, Engadgetâ(TM)s K. Holt wrote. Current copyright law only provides protections to âoethe fruits of intellectual laborâ that âoeare founded in the creative powers of the [human] mind,â the USCO states."

In order to file for a copyright under current law you have to be the creator of the images in question. Software generation doesn't equal human creator. Adobe won't own what it's trying to sell.

Comment I was a loyal roku customer (Score 1) 34

But I left because of issues like these including with Twitch, HBOMax, etc.

Since then I have been a very happy Nvidia Shield TV pro owner and haven't looked back. Love the shield TV's AI upscaling of HD content to 4k! Best feature ever! Plus the ability to sideload unapproved apps on the shield!

Before I left I had bought every Roku from the original Roku, the stick, all the way through the premier. I even got a TCL ROKU TV, but I never use the Roku features on it.

They lost my business together for playing games interfering with the content I want on my device.

Comment They should be paid the same if not more. (Score 1) 199

They are providing Google Electricity, Office Space, Computer Equipment, etc. Google should be required to either continue to pay them the same, or even reimburse the employee those costs. Google benefits by space in the office, less resources needed to support said employee.

Lets see a cost analysis for a inhouse employee and a work from home employee. I bet the work from home one costs google less.

"At T-Mobile unlimited is truly unlimited. No overages or data caps apply on our network. Data prioritization will only be noticeable when you access a congested tower and have used over 50GB of data in a particular billing cycle."

I have not have an overage since I left AT&T over 5 years ago.

And Twitch, and HBO MAX... What were google's draconian demands?

According to Roku, Google is demanding that if a Roku user has the regular YouTube app open, the platform cannot display search results from competing third-party services like Netflix, Disney Plus or HBO Max.

Google also is asking for special access to Roku user data and wants the ability to dictate hardware requirements to Roku in the future for running its apps, Roku alleged.

What's google's point of view?

YouTube said its offer to Roku âoewas simple and still stands: renew the YouTube TV deal under the existing reasonable terms. However, Roku chose to use this as an opportunity to renegotiate a separate deal encompassing the YouTube main app,â which does not expire until December 2021.

According to YouTube, âoeRoku requested exceptions that would break the YouTube experience and limit our ability to update YouTube in order to fix issues or add new features.â For example, by not supporting open-source video codecs, users wouldnâ(TM)t be able to watch YouTube in 4K HDR or 8K even if they have a Roku device that supports those resolutions. YouTube also reiterated its denial of Rokuâ(TM)s allegation that Google or YouTube made any requests to access Roku user data or interfere with search results. âoeThis claim is baseless and false,â YouTube said.

I am loving my NVIDIA Shield TV Pro. Android TV and I can sideload almost any app available on the google play app store. It costs more than a ROKU but with AI upscaling of hd video to 4k, and a vast number of third party apps available It's more than worth it.

Comment Nvidia Shield TV (Score 1) 99

Spend a little more, and get a Nvidia Shield TV Pro, you won't regret it.

Android TV,

Can upscale HD video to 4k using AI (even on twitch),

Supports 4k 60fps, HDR, DolbyVision video and supports Xvid, DivX, ASF, AVI, MKV, MOV, M2TS, MPEG-TS, MP4, and WEB-M.

For audio you have Dolby Atmos and DTS-X surround.

Native SMB connections

Google Assistant and Chromecast built in. Works with Alexa too.

Gaming support.

This is everything Roku wants to be, but isn't; and you don't have to deal with their bullshit.

ROKU shutdown the official and unofficial twitch app, blocked HBOMax, Now wants to block youtube. No thanks.
