I once cut thru a 15 amp line with a paire of wire cutters. That was kind of exciting. A big POP sound and a flash of blue light. The wire cutters had a nice 14 gauge hole in the cutting edge as a result. It would have to be more spectacular for the weasel to cut into a 66 kV line.
“The wire cutters had a nice 14 gauge hole in the cutting edge...”
And, if you’re like me, you still have those cutters. I just cut wire where the hole isn’t. I hate to throw away an almost perfectly good pair of Klein 9” offset sidecutters.
