That first video really bothered me for a log time after I saw it,I tried to find out what became of the guy,it was a oil refinery in Bogota Colombia,some info said he lived and others said he died,imo there's no way he survived,the available fault current on a 13.8kV system (which is what that was)would be ridiculous,he was vaporised RIP that guy,just for context they were racking in a breaker that had been outside in the elements and had moisture in it,SMH tells you everything you need to know right there.😔
Same here , it’s pretty common on the circuit and I took the decision to use it as it drives it home , he would have been fine if he had had the door shut , the guy in the second video knows it’s likely to blow up and unwittingly positioned him self off to the side
Is there really no way to operate this via remote contactors? Also, anyone know why I only ever see Americans talk abt arc flashes? Seems almost like they're doing smth wrong over there...
@@Actual_electrical_content Good to hear. What do we call it over here? I've seen the man-puller poles and suits and whatnot at a powerplant I worked at b4
clearly wasn’t wearing a safety tie

did he immediately disintegrate?

Yes it’s done remotely on new equipment, arc flash is a us term we recognise it under different terms

They treat electricity very different over in the USA th-cam.com/video/1p9QRfNLxvQ/w-d-xo.html
