One hot hoist was used to move all three conductors because only one conductor can be worked on at a pole. True or false?

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. It depends

Answer: (A)

The concept here is how hot-line work handles moving conductors at a pole. A hot hoist is used to reposition the conductor you’re working on while the line is live, but it isn’t meant to move all three conductors at once. When you’re at a pole, you typically work on one conductor at a time to maintain proper clearance and minimize risk. Moving all three with a single hoist would introduce unnecessary danger and isn’t how the procedure is performed. If adjustments are needed for multiple conductors, they’re done in sequence or with separate devices, ensuring safe clearances and control. So the statement is false.
