After the video I posted of power line workers on live high voltage lines I found this article with some examples. The picture has a worker changing an insulator string on a live 765 kV line near Miami Florida. This work is done live so as not to cause an outage to customer loads. This type of live live work has been done in Canada and USA for 30 years, and also in other countries. One reference said it is done in Russia on lines up to 1150 kV (over one million volts.)
