Electrical engineer or technician is the best job in the world. You need both Brains+balls for it. Salute to Tesla and these engineers/technicians for powering our lives 👍🏻
I'm watching a lot of these videos for some reason, and really curious about the different types of these switches. Are some less prone to arching then others?
Yes, with smaller switches there are special casings to prevent arc flashes. I wouldn't know if this was also the case for substations like this tho, I think not because it isn't really necessary at that height. At the end of the day every switch is able to have an arc flash with the correct voltage but smaller big voltage switches are also built with safety measures for that situation.
I believe a lot of it depends on the load at which the switch is breaking. More load equals more arch. I'm sure temperature and humidity have to do with it too.
That was the idea. But putting arcing horns helps very little here. Sparks jump interchangeably between them and main contacts, but they are weak and not dangerous to the electrodes
It's natural to be afraid of electricity but keep in mind that countless engineers have busted their brains into developing a system that is [almost] always safe for everyone.
Arcing is the word you struggle to spell. Arc + ing ‘Acr’? Do you really think that is it? Additionally, was that connecting or disconnecting? Sure looks like connecting to me. Now, if that isn’t 161KV the title is 100% wrong.

If they had a brain they would not do this job
@@kingozymandias2988 yeah they'd be bloggers and social justice warriors instead, like the people of your country
@@kingozymandias2988 if they didn't do this job you wouldn't be able to post nonsense, so maybe you're right
So trur
An arc-cellent video. 💙 T.E.N.
Revolting.
I like the sound of the electricity
Always get a kick out of guys wearing rubbers on these switches.

So that's why they put fences around those things
Oooh that was a good one
You meant Connecting not disconnecting right?
Very nice ❤❤❤
Clever! Looks like rods take the punishment of the arc instead of main contactor ?

someone needs to oil them things. LOL

I’m scared of electricity poles and that’s my biggest fear my huge fear is electricity poles falling
How 'bout them walking towards you?

thats was cool to watch!!
Based on what load that is under a smaller town was probably out of electricity after that.
Is it a bad idea to do this when there's dampness in the air?

Good...👍👍👍
Connect arc surely.
Why is it titled disconnecting when the bars are closing ?
Gd workk

Now, if that isn’t 161KV the title is 100% wrong.
How much current is passing through that at that voltage level
161,000 volts
@@mikeythesizzlerr9495 at what current level is 161000 volts
Nope. Nope nope no
When you try to plug in your usb charger into the outlet
That wasn't 161kV and you realy have that kind of Voltage??
What are these switches called?
