This is some disney villain base bulsh*t 😲

Its... Its not shutting down...!

seems very inefficient XD

same I was like "just flip the switch! oh wait.. this is the switch"

😁😁

May be it is directly connected to the generating unit.....and u can't simply turnoff the mighty generator

Bro you asking is it a qustion ?

Actually, these are all isolator switches opening and closing. They are not made to stop current. I'm not sure about other countries, but in NL there's always a combination of a HV circuit breaker, which stops the current in about 20 ms, and one or more isolator switches like the ones in the video. Using the circuit breaker to open and close the circuit prevents big arcs like this.

Fuuuuck yeah man electricity is just this weird energy moving around and it can straight up cook you and it does all this flashy wierd shit but we use it to have AC and cook hotpockets but it can easily fucking kill you

It is one of the most dangerous things you come across disrespect for one second it will kill you

Electricity is cool And all until you have to study and learn complicated stuff and application of it F*** my life XD

Literally, it’s tech from another dimension

That's why palpatine cool

So how much closer did they have to be before they were completely boned?

Hey there. Can you explain me in short what is going on there as i am a medical student and dont know that much physics!! 😉😂

@@DrAdityaa me too

@@DrAdityaa well basically they are simple switches, on and off. However, instead of turning a light bulb on, these switches are used to connect and disconnect power plants (like hydroelectric power plants) from the whole grid (where the electricity is transferred from power plants, sometimes over far distances to your home). These switches are used to switch on and off without a load=>meaning there is no electricity generated or consumed that is being put in or pulled out of the grid. If they for some reason are opened during the flow of electricity in or out of the grid, you get this massive arcs that sound incredibly mean (50/60 (or to be correct 100/120) Hz humm). If no load is flowing through these switches when they're opened, they'll still arc but much much weaker. Having said that you are by no means in any danger if your standing that "close". However I really value my life and I honestly do not want to get close to them even if it's save to do so (again I know what I'm talking about and therefore dealing with it accordingly) Hope this helps, if you didn't understand something please tell me ;) Edit: 0:31 switching with electric load 1:13 switching without a load

Scary.

Someone ought to make a music genre with these

Right?! Sounds like the most dominating voice of nature. Purely unforgiving.

but why they do this?

@@GiovannaNogueira12 To isolate the energized current flowing into a bus side. This is so a side of the substation can be de-energized for maintenance and work on power lines safely.

@@infernobledsoe4267 so its a switch?

@@scythemachine1894 Yes.

Cool! I wondered about that. Does someone need to hit a switch to start the process, or do the "arms" start moving on their own when this situation arises? You can tell electricity is definitely not my forte.😊

1:56 was a nice one

2.47 to be precise 😭

@@APZeus3real

Same time, two months later! 😎👍

Underrated

Some of those stations are really badly built. They move way too slow and have a way too short spread

Those are air-disconnectors, not switches that open in fault-situations and certainly not designed to open while loaded. Switches that disconnect when a fault occurs are either powered by compressed gas (where the gas usually also serves as an arc-quenching medium) or coiled springs, that make sure the contacts are separated within in instant. Besides a gas of some sort, oil is another common arc-quenching medium.

@@weeardguy Yeah I'm really not sure why they are opening these disconnects while under load. In my experience you would always open an upstream circuit breaker before opening up a downstream disconnect like these. I wonder if these were being performed for tests or something.

@@weberneting Well not all of them in this video are under load. Most of them show 'static' from line capacitance or a parallel running powerline. Besides showing off (I wouldn't be too surprised if some linemen like to open these under load on purpose, even though that is dangerous) it's also a thing with procedures and maybe even thinking an upstream circuit breaker has been opened, which you quickly find out isn't as soon as you open 'your' airbreaker.

The probability of this happening is slim to none, but if you ever end up with a power line having fallen on your car while you're in it, don't get out of the car. Stay inside and call emergency services, then wait and do not under any circumstances touch the ground, provided it is safe for you to follow these instructions :)

@@Damone7653 Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend and remember to charge your cell phone.

@@Damone7653 Wow! Even my parrot can be trained to repeat my words. Great job!

​@foureyedchick sit and wait the hydro guys are already seeing the grid down

Also because of the cloudy weather, there must be high humidity.

with the size of those arcs I'm surprised it isn't hopping phase to phase, too.

would have been cool to see that at night

The weather is a big part of that.

I would like to see how you can tell the AC frequency from arc sound 🤣🤣

Dude.....

dork

Not a capacitive discharge; that's a flowing current discharge. How can one tell? It wasn't over in a fraction of a second. ("Capacitive" would indicate a charge stored electrostatically).

Fire is a plasma. You can actually create an Electrical Arc that strongly resembles a Candle Flame though it's much more hot.

@@stoopidhaters They're not so different, both are hot, both look similar, both glow and both are energy

​@@Ion115 quite different actually

That will be the last thing that you will touch.

You would be fried from inside and out

You will d1е with greeting this 🤯

that pun is bad and you should feel bad

To make arcs that long, Im thinking 1 or 2 Megavolts. (Starting at 1m30s) The part of physics I dont get about this is how the electrodes/ contacts dont melt. When I know a furnace powered by 600v heating elements can supply enough heat to melt steel, then a million volts certainly can
