The invention relates to a live working method for changing a double-circuit line triangularly-arranged linear pole into a strain pole. Comprising the following steps of S1, performing electricity testing on an insulator and a cross arm, S2, performing insulation shielding on an electrified body and a grounding body, S3, removing a binding wire, S4, lifting a three-phase wire, S5, fixing an insulation drainage wire bracket, S6, fixing the three-phase wire on a strain cross arm shielding cover, S7, performing breaking work on a near-side phase wire, S8, performing connection work on a near-side phase wire lead, and S6, performing connection work on a near-side phase wire lead. S9, connecting and disconnecting a far-side-phase wire and a middle-phase wire and connecting a lead wire; S10, dismounting a tension-resistant cross arm shielding cover; S11, dismounting an insulating drainage bracket; S12, dismounting an insulating shield; the wire lifting device has the advantages that due to the fact that lifting of the three-phase wire is achieved in the S4, the air gap and the safety distance between the wire and the cross arm can be effectively controlled, the safety performance during operation is greatly improved, the wire lifting device is remotely controlled by a ground electrician, the labor intensity of operators can be lowered, and the labor burden is relieved.
