Owen Electric Safety Demonstration

Owen Electric representative, Rodney Kincaid, will discuss a host of situations that can pose a hazard to unqualified persons concerning both high and low electrical voltages. We begin with showing how incorrectly connecting a generator to a home service can produce high voltages back out on our lines creating a hazard for our workers. Furthermore we show why you shouldn’t touch any downed utility wire and what to do should you find yourself in a situation where your vehicle comes in contact with a power line (Step and Touch Potential). Finally, we discuss the hazards that trees and other obstacles pose when placed too close to power lines. There will be time for Q&A.
NOTE: For this meeting only, we'll be meeting at the Ft. Mitchell Firehouse at 2355 Dixie Hwy., Ft. Mitchell, KY 41017. The Fire Chief is excited that his staff will have the opportunity to attend our program, too. We’ll park at the Fort Mitchell Baptist Church and walk over to the firehouse for the meeting. There will be no formal business meeting, however print-outs will be provided to members on info normally covered. Pizza will be available as usual with bottled water for the drink.
