Eighty years of Polish experiences in technology of live-line working and impressions from all 10 ICOLIM conferences

Regular development of live-line working in Poland took place since 1975, when we started taking advantage of French experiences with low voltage lines, Irish experiences with medium voltage lines, as well as Hungarian, German, Russian, Italian and American experiences with high voltage lines 110–750kV. In 2013, we will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of these works in Poland. During the 75th anniversary of these works, Polish power engineers organized the European conference ICOLIM'2008. In addition, Poland has been organizing national conferences dedicated to this topic since 1988. The Author is having the experiences of participation in all ICOLIM Conferences (from 1992–2011) presents a review of papers, exhibitions, demonstrations and social life.
