Arc flash is no joke.

if you have ever seen what an arc flash can do to a person you'd understand. Where I use to work the safety training included anyone turning on high power equiplment to do so whil cody and face were turned away from the switch because the dust in there was so bad

Building where I work has a 6in plastic wedge that you use when flipping the 440v main breaker.

If you've ever seen one explode, you wear protective gear and stand away from it. Even new breakers can malfunction. We had a 480/150A ABB breaker explode the 7th time it was switched - when it was finally being turned on for use, and there was _zero_ load on it. (the electricians were very unhappy about that, as it's a $750 breaker and it's up to them to get ABB to pay up.)

it`s a show.. i know what you mean..there is no way it was done this way

It could be Edgar first time. But no way it was first time ever that was switched on.

Also, that doesn't look like 400, let alone, 300 crab in those pots. 'REALITY' TV embellished once again... smh

@@atomicwedgie8176 Give it a rest. It makes no sense for you to watch if you've already got this bias in your head.

@@biggtrux Enjoy the false reality you're being fed. I'll keep pointing out the OBVIOUS.

Keith is a legend some people don’t like him. 😂

​@@alegee6108 I agree, Keith is a phenomenal captain and boat owner. Dude knows the crab business in and out and he has the biggest quotas

Let’s not forget Keith & Wild Bill, absolute savages all of them. Jake & Sean in the early stages of legendary.

That was a video from six years ago.

He's not this is old!

@@tedneitzel He's still on the boat, he's just not in the shots.

@@DGAF_AK87 I have heard that but have nothing I can find to prove it.

Edger now in jail

I’m just an apprentice marine mechanic.. but we’ve fired up generators while plugged into shore power without any such consideration for synchronization to the grid The boats I’ve been on have always had a switch on the panel You’re either pulling from one of the shore power plugs or from the internal supply Not possible to connect them together, at least not from anything I’ve ever seen Mostly just yachts though not commercial vessels

@@Meowface. Do you have three phase power on the boats you are on? That was three phase he was running.

@@timcope3115 no the shore power isn’t 3 phase in the marinas I work at But does that matter ? You can see in the video he cuts off the shore power before turning on the generator breaker I imagine if he had them both on it could be an issue I’m used to seeing a rotary switch that makes it impossible for generator and shore power to be connected

Even transfer switches can fail. I recall the one the power company installed between two 1.2MW generators... it did not sync before transferring; the entire transfer switch was instantly converted to slag.

@@jfbeam True, we had a company doing an upgrade to a 3K HP 1500 KW generator and they had been replacing switch gear and several other components. This had taken almost a month. The generator itself was housed in a separate building about 50' from the switch gear.They were ready to fire it up and make a test run so I was in the generator building and started it. Everything came up well on that end. They did some checking and said everything was good on their end so they wanted to do a simulation to make the generator sense that there was a loss of utility and transfer. They did and I went back in the generator building. Of course the generator was running full steam and I heard the ATS slam when it transfered. The generator groaned and then stopped dead in it tracks for a milisecond then attempted to turn backwards then I heard the switchgear drop out and the generator regained itself and was attempting to run right when I hit the emergency stop. This was 4160 volt. They had bucked phase. I went in and they were scratching their head and said they didn't understand why it hadn't synchronized before it transfered. but they didn't see any switches blown out of the cabinets. I told them they better worry about what it had done to that generator and engine. It had a 12' direct drive fan in the front with a 18" aluminum hub the blades set in like aircraft blades. It had cracked that hub luckily none of the blades had slung out. We had to pull the generator itself from the engine and it had stripped the splines in a 4" steel coupling. Other than that no damage. We really thought that it may had damaged the crankshaft in the engine but it hadn't.

is it? id rather not see nonces thanks

Don't rain on the "i learned everything i know on reality tv" parade

I asked the same thing I liked edger

if God is so good, why would they need Edgar? Wouldn't God just make the fire not exist?

It was an overdramatized event meant to sell the episode. God had nothing to do with it. Yeah, your invisible magical man prevented a fire here, but lets thousand of kids starve to death and die of cancer every day. Idiot.

@@thestablishmentblues 😂 lol No no but you have to understand make believe sky-man is GOOD make believe sky-man saved the northwestern, not the crew.

@@Smellmipoo4932 its like when ppl praise jesus after they went to the hospital or ambulance.

@@thestablishmentblues exactly. Unfortunately there’s no known cure for stupidity.

Old video unless it's after his troubles

6 years ago

Hey baby girl! Just a quick question. Did your papi finish on you? or in you?

It was partially covered in Deadliest catch the rest in a new series. Deadliest Catch: The viking returns. I need to watch last season yet. Red King and Ophilio fishing grounds are closed . No winter fishing this year.

Old episode im afraid..

This is an old clip

Edger’s been off for years. Legal issues.

he did not old film

he will never be back. This was several years ago.

No, he can never return to the tv show because he was involved in something bad.

Everyone deserves a second chance

Mandy is gorgeous

Sig has probably been smoking since the day she was born, she was well aware of his habit before signing on.

Edgar is no longer on the Northwestern. Another Hansen, Norman is the engineer. Sig pretty much leaves him be. Two big incidents, he fell and had seizures. This e really had Sig shook up. The forward deck crane broke it's boom they had to go back to port for repair. or replacement

yeah that only happens in America, right.

America is probably the country with the least amount of people smoking inside of work. The name Logic, doesn’t suit you very well

Something tells me that you never did.

old episode from several years ago.
