Which of the following is NOT part of the crossarm changeout demonstration?

• A. Deenergize phases
• B. Transfer to temp
• C. Install temp double crossarm
• D. Replace old crossarm

Answer: (A)

Crossarm changeout demonstrations focus on the mechanical steps used to swap out a crossarm while keeping the line supported. The sequence typically shown is transferring the load to a temporary crossarm, installing a temporary double crossarm to continue supporting the phases, and then removing the old crossarm and installing the new one. Deenergizing the phases, while essential as a safety step in real work, is a broader safety procedure that would be addressed before or outside the specific changeout sequence being demonstrated. In the demo, the emphasis is on how the temporary and final crossarms are installed and secured, not on the prior safety actions themselves.
