Linemen shut off power at the pole by using a device called a disconnect switch or cutout, which allows them to isolate a section of the power line. They first ensure the area is safe and de-energized using personal protective equipment. Then, they access the switch mechanism, typically by using insulated tools, to open the circuit and stop the flow of electricity. This process ensures the safety of both the linemen and the public while maintenance or repairs are conducted.

Why would a 30A-250V outlet still have power with breaker off?
It sounds like the breaker is unserviceable. Seeing as it supplies 240 volt outlet it must be a two pole breaker. If it is a single handle two pole breaker then one pole set inside the breaker is not disconnecting one of the lines. If it is supplied from two single pole breakers that has a common tie, the common tie might be loose and does not shut off both poles when thrown to the off position. If there is no common tie then both breakers must be turned off to interrupt the 240 volt supply.
