500kw Line Opened. Absolutely amazing footage of an open electric line.
In response to "?", the path of least resistance is not always a straight line. Look at lightning for example. Have you ever seen 1 perfectly straight bolt? Thats because some air particles offer less resistance than others. Not that any of this truly matters for most people, but i hate seein stupid stuff like "LOL!!!one1!! dats stoopid wat?". People like that anger me.
And Just in case you were wondering, the sex life for me is great because of this knowledge.
I hate that S**t ya know like, I'm hard come get me bitches like a waterfall. Instead it's like do me i'm air i'm gay-whisk.

The supper heated air molecules are blasted of in many directions and the bolt follows the less resistant fast moving super heated air molecules upward giving us an interesting show.
very very cool

By eVeKiSs 1148303290 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove...yet somehow some found something to criticize. 14 months ago, I went to my car one night and was confronted by 3 illegal aliens. They demanded money, and when I had none, they attacked me with baseball bats, breaking my neck and partially paralyzing me for life. I had played tennis, skiied, rafted, skydived, but that is over now. I do not blame Mexicans or illegal aliens for this, it could have happened anywhere. I am thankful for what I have left, and for sites like this which give me something to do other than lay here in bed and pity myself. Sometimes the racial attacks here sadden me. Wouldn't it be great if this little site played a role in bringing us all together? Wouldn't it be fantastic if instead of racial, religious and ethnic attacks it could be "I disagree, mate, but thanks for sharing..."

By Ronaldinhov7 1144449189 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis was a fault video - they guys working on the line found that it arced previously so the operation was repeated again but this time with video running. The power line was opened with NO load on it, what you saw here was purely 'charging energy' that a long line consumes naturally. The swing arm is called an isolator this is used to acually isolate the power line mechanically. The electrical isolator is integral to the insulators and it was this that was faulty. So when the swing arm opened it drew an arc - it went to about three storys high before the line operator opened another circuit breaker else where to kill it. If this arc had moved to any of the other lines then there would have been a gigger bang and flash.
Electricity Rock's!!!

By 1094056916 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove500,000 Volts will jump a gap like that. The arcing keeps going because as we know like lightning, it follows the path of least resistance. Be glad it didn't go down towards the people. Lightning is about a thousand time more powerful (5 million volts) and at that intensity it arcs really fast... this was a slow arc tho... it's impressive nonetheless.

I am not sure if this was a 345kv or 500kv line. The arc that occurred was an accident however. The switch being used is a non load breaking switch. It is only supposed to be opened after all load is removed. The circuit breaker that was supposed to isolate the load failed resulting in the switch being opened under load. The reason it was caught on video is that the switch had malfunctioned several times in the past. The power company had been recording every operation of the switch to get the resulting arc on tape. This is a very common video in the power line industry. More videos are available on other sites. I believe some are available at powerlineman.com
By Woodwalker13 1143010463 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeto all electrical engineers out there, until you have opened one of these switches, worked these lines while enrgized, rubber gloved, hot sticked, or basically did anything that was "hands on" with high voltage power lines, you will never understand elsctricity!
