    That burst of sparks was just the result of a breaker upstream attempting to automatically reclose. It wasn't the transformer cooking.

      @@whatsomeonesaidwastaken9216 A recloser can be in a few forms, but it basically takes the place of a fuse which would normally blow to open the circuit to de-energize it in the event of a fault. A recloser, unlike a fuse, is a multi use "fuse" meaning if there is a fault, it will open the circuit and then close it again after a few seconds incase the fault was only a temporary one like an animal getting cooked. If the fault persists, it will repeat this process for a set number of times (usually 4) to see if the fault will clear so that the utility companies dont have to send a lineman out to fix it.

      I once saw this same thing happening but the transformers and wires were laying over hood of a car that crashed into the pole. The driver was terrified inside the car these wires are jumping around arcing right in her face all around her car. The car was smoking fluids running out from under it. Lucky for her wasn't any fuel spilled most modern cars have a shut off switch kills the electric fuel pump when get into a crash. Police officer drove up close as he could with his car and yelled over the PA for her to stay in her car not touch any metal in the car. It arced more times eventually stopped she stayed in her car until power utility trucks showed up. I stuck around to give a statement to the crash.

      Every material resists the flow of electric current. Some materials resist it much better than others. Resistance manifests as heat as an electric current passes. The more current, the more heat. Too much heat and the conductor can melt or catch fire. The reason you have fuses or circuit breakers in your home or business is to prevent that from happening to the wires in your home or business.

    Exactly, the power lines are arcing for a long time after they are down. You
    would think that there is some sort of computer-controlled sensors that detect
    the change in the load current and turn them off immediately.
    These downed power lines are EXTREMELY dangerous to the public.

    If they ran everything underground your power bill would at least be 6 times higher if not more. When things fail above ground they are easy to correct, when they fail underground it's road construction. To install underground or upgrade underground systems, the cost is much higher than above ground due to sidewalks, roads, homes, yards, etc... Finally, underground is not any more safe, people dig up power lines and get hurt all the time, frankly, fewer people get hurt in above ground systems

    Actually we do, here in the wet where I live, there are breakers on the HV systems all over town including the substations. There are probably some older systems in the east I imagine but the east is very old and are somewhere the schedules to be updated. due to the miles and miles of line, you can't just upgrade the whole east coast at once due to extreme cost.

      It was a circuit breaker. At 0:48 the breaker re-closes in case it's a transient short circuit. (It isn't) It might have done that a few more times after the video ended. A fuse can't reset itself.

    I went to this location on google maps and they added a new powerline, it looks honestly better, you can still see the tree on google maps, but if you go into the future you won't see it anymore. Just a memory of it.

    By the way, kids, never look at an electric arc like this. It's no different than an electric welder. It can easily blind you. It can even damage your vision with your eyes closed.

    No, they've been underground for over 50 years in most urban areas here in the UK and faults aren't too common. To find one, you simply use a HV thumper.

    Not really, here in the UK, primaries are always run underground in urban areas, with secondary area substations housed in small brick buildings, or in a fenced area. It's a lot safer and less prone to faults, such as this.
