Yea damn. That lingering arc on that rightmost phase had some deep tones to it, eh? You can just _feel_ the energy being transmitted when that happens. Plus, what an ECHO! Nice...
In the UK power is generated at 33kv then transformed up to 400kv and 275kv as high voltages travel well and have minamal losses,these voltages normally are on OH line as underground voltages at this level require massive amounts of screening and insulation from this voltage the lines go into a grid station and further transformed to 132kv where this is sent to whats called a primary which i think is is this video you dont normally see these all the time because they are few and far between.
yolichka1 : there is difference between a line with equipment connected to it, and just a long powerline: both will draw an arc when disconnected, but by the fat white juicy arcs you see in this vid, and judging by the sound produced by those, there is a pretty high current flowing through the wires, which gives it the term opening 'under load'
Yep. The only thing the arc wants is to sustain. It does that by rising up (as the hotter, ionised air, goes up) The bigger it gets, the louder it gets. All the power that flows through the normally closed conductor, now flows through air: you're talking about MW's here.
Unlikely that megawatts is going through this arc. This is likely just capacitive current flow through a disconnected segment of line. It would be foolish to disconnect this type of switch under any significant load.
the hum is at 60hz. The same hum that is in a cheap audio amp. The same sound that you use a ground lifter to silence. Incidentally, when they interrupt a high voltage line like that there is still capacitance current in the lines so don't go showing off to your pals by swinging on the lines or you will not feel a thing permanently.
I hear at 60hz. My toys indicate 60 hz as well as the 120 at times 240 but my bass goes below that so its 60hz. Which at 120 or 240 "house" voltage will kill quite effenciently
+douglas williams I wasn't saying you couldn't physically hear 60hz as a person, I can hear down to around 18; I was speaking of power lines and mains systems - hence I use 'THE 60hz wave' and not 'a 60hz wave' generalisation.
The hum you hear from high voltage transformers is at 120Hz, because the metal plates that make up the transformer's core oscillate twice for each cycle (once on the positive, once on the negative). The sound you hear from improperly isolated audio equipment is actually 60Hz, because the speaker only oscillates once per cycle (forward on the positive, backward on the negative).
switch is for disconnecting the utility side (energized) from the power plant side (not energized at that time - this mean no producing any power). I open the disconnect to perform maintenance on the stepup transformer.
@chrysanthos66 You see a bunch of air switches open to disconnect something (that could be a transformer or complete powerline) The arcs form because of the load the powerline itself forms or the small current a transformer draws when operating load-free. If this was done while the line was 'under load' (the switches would have been opened while current is flowing in normal amounts) the arcs would have been bigger, and could have caused a phase-to-phase arc that could lead to a short
that's kind of what I meant. Some guy on here was saying they would not be able to open under load. Yes, we would do it under load of there was an emergency, but that's rare. The purpose of these are - well I'm not gonna argue on youtube. I know my job and how to do it -
Incorrect title, it's a 345kv bus switch, and there is no load and the weather plays a role too, some arcs are plasma while some are just static. Depending on the brand of the motor and the current going to the switch.
it works just like the little switch u use to turn on and off your lights, or vacuum, or motor, or....... the arc u see is static electricity. if they opened it up underload, well......you wouldn't see the blade or clip anymore
ive seen bigger 4160 dragons when opening breakers in the power plant i worked at and, for a previous commenter its 60 cycles my friend! cycles = hertz and the current in amperes is constantly changing. we have the value of voltage at 345 thousand... k = kilo = thousand. no you didnt know!
@Saluki388 scientifically you're right, but looking at the fact that if you increase I by just 0.1 that there will be already plenty of power, i think Houseandmore doesn't say much wrong by saying The power of 354000 volts.
@vanjastanic it is down on ground-level, if you look closely at the bar that goes across all the switches near the platform-thing you can see it turns around and opening the switches. the motor turns a bar that goes up to that bar wich turns some other bars and so on up to the poles @Teslalabor how do you see that?
ну да, крона - проблема таких вв линий (для этого там фазу на 8 проводов расщипляют) да, и поле там приичное=) Эта линия я помню точно в Челябинск идёт...
PCB must be already opened on this one... you don't(and can't because of interlocking) usually operate to open disconnects when there's a load current passing thru its circuit... i think.

This is how dubstep was created

Cool, love the sound it makes, I even draw pictures of them in my art journal. Amazing!
You draw pictures of the sound it makes? Cool!
That is one of the most amazing sounds! I bet it's ten times better viewed in real life...
The thing which is deadly ...never creates a soothing sound .......although I like to hear it ....thrilling

Don't come for the arc, I come for the spine tingling noise
@Abydos3064 Yea.
While good, these videos only show you the arc but being there and feeling that sound go through you is amazing.
this just makes me giggle,i dont know shit about any of this but i love electricity and that feeling i got when they open and arced made me so happy
i just love watching the switches open!
Lol it is, a powerline near my house went down recently and i woke up to the sound for 10 minutes straight it was frightening =0
love that sound!
Beautiful sound and spark! :-)
sounds like thunder at the last lighting bolt. thats cool
I LOVE THAT SOUND
stabs opening up first thing in the foggy morning is awesome

+douglas williams Actually it's the 120Hz second harmonic - you don't ever hear the 60Hz wave. Same with 50Hz systems you hear 100Hz.

The sound you hear from improperly isolated audio equipment is actually 60Hz, because the speaker only oscillates once per cycle (forward on the positive, backward on the negative).
You may actually hear 120Hz due to the full wave rectification. Since I live in Europe, I confirmed that the 100Hz hum was actually 100Hz.

pablin184 I was wondering about that. The loose switch sync between phases would be devastating for many loads.
i love the sound!!!!
The USA transmits at 500kv so if you do some maths and divide by sguare root 3 you get your assosiated voltages on the network. i hope this helps
Awesome sound
Damn that were some fat juicy arcs. Nice video!
the sound is boneshaking, would love to see and hear that in real
love the 60 cycle hum

Listen to that sound !
I'd expect a lot more from 354kv,
I've already seen arcings of a few feet long
Incorrect title, it's a 345kv bus switch, and there is no load and the weather plays a role too, some arcs are plasma while some are just static. Depending on the brand of the motor and the current going to the switch.
I'm going to use that as a message notification on my Android 😁
What makes the breakers move?
Are they raised by a air or hydraulic ram?
it works just like the little switch u use to turn on and off your lights, or vacuum, or motor, or....... the arc u see is static electricity. if they opened it up underload, well......you wouldn't see the blade or clip anymore
WAUW! Amazing sound! :O Perfect for games! :D
Ух. Аж мурашки. На жопе
that eldctric humm
That's the sound Transformers make when they transform.
ive seen bigger 4160 dragons when opening breakers in the power plant i worked at
and, for a previous commenter its 60 cycles my friend! cycles = hertz and the current in amperes is constantly changing. we have the value of voltage at 345 thousand... k = kilo = thousand. no you didnt know!
thank you :)
And we are going to believe we need a larger Grid?
the Buzz you hear before the Switches Open is most likely Transformers.
@Saluki388 scientifically you're right, but looking at the fact that if you increase I by just 0.1 that there will be already plenty of power, i think Houseandmore doesn't say much wrong by saying The power of 354000 volts.
Thanks for sharing :-)
@IC2720 open air contactors are very common with EHV applications
@vanjastanic
it is down on ground-level, if you look closely at the bar that goes across all the switches near the platform-thing you can see it turns around and opening the switches. the motor turns a bar that goes up to that bar wich turns some other bars and so on up to the poles
@Teslalabor how do you see that?
@pablin184. What type of metal is used in those switches?
Armory52 copper or aluminium is most commonly used.
Impresionante, un saludo
ooooo i would love to do some arc welding with that kind of amps, wooo that would disintegrate my metal and turn me to ashes
ну да, крона - проблема таких вв линий (для этого там фазу на 8 проводов расщипляют) да, и поле там приичное=) Эта линия я помню точно в Челябинск идёт...
The middle insulator you see next the leftmost is actually rotating insulator that turns the main blade and opens it with a rotating joint.
How are those raised...
Still better love story than twilight
Nice arc discharge.
I expected the arcs to last longer, especiallya 354kV.
Appears that there was no load.
QUESTION: How do they *reset* them - manually or can they go back down in reverse?
From what I believe, I think it goes straight back down at a slower pace. (To avoid short circuit of course)
@@OzzieJeza02 Here ya go... Just did a Google search - th-cam.com/video/3WU6xtPWyrc/w-d-xo.html
god voice itself
What opens the interrupters?
i can see where your coming from , it looks like there is no motor , or hydraulic ram , i wonder that too
354KV? I've never heard of a transmission line at that voltage. Are you sure it wasn't a 345KV?
Прикольно! Так открыть бы 1150kV!!! =)
the electricity be like : 'no! dont leave me!'
awesome!
what is a disconnect and what does it do?
Exactly what it sounds like. It's more or less the same thing as the lightswitch on your bedroom wall, only bigger.
Reminded me of transformers
@SFseis I think he meant "The power of 354,000 Volts * I" ..
Is this like a massive resettable fuse?
+kaiok1777 It's a switch
I've seen bigger arcs from 15kV line, this line probably wasn't under any load, cool sound tho and nice arc.
This is 345,000 volts. The video that you see is of disconnects being opened on a bus in a substation.
@AdamSKHaj Haha, that is exactly what I was thinking!
You are sure this is 354kV ? Seems to be not more than 110kV or so.
ЗЫ это самый большой действующий в мире класс=)
Where's the KABOOM!!!?
There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering KABOOM!!
:D
this reminds me of the last map pack for nazi zombies on COD
...Terminator is here.
@ghostrider433 I know that feeling.
I wonder if it's okay when I touch that cable after disconnect it. Will am I fried????
Thats tight
looks cool
how are they opened and closed because i dont see any cable or bar that is moving them
Wadsworth constant applies.
is this USA 60 hertz? it sounds higher pitched hum than UK 50 hertz. Also 354kv, UK highest is 330kv i think!
thanks:)
Was this USA 60 hertz? buzzing sounds higher pitch than UK 50 hertz!
PRESS 5 FOR VUVUZELA .
354,000 Volts.
Sounds like BBQ at my house
Still a load applied to one of the phases !! Tut-tut.
в России есть линия с таким классом напряжения=)
That sounded like a fart i did this morning in my bed.
You mean 345kv? I didn’t know there was a 354...
fuck me , that was exciting
Why not used a circuit breacker?
Meirzhan Yermek that *is* a circuit breaker.
Circuit breaker is a special device for the automatical or manual shutdown of an electrical circuit with arc-extinguisher.
The circuit breaker already opened. This is an isolating switch, which is used when work needs to be done on the circuit breaker or bus.
PCB must be already opened on this one... you don't(and can't because of interlocking) usually operate to open disconnects when there's a load current passing thru its circuit... i think.
all the Glory starts at @:013
0:13 You can hear some Dubstep..
@MATUXAZ he got mad
just hook that up to a coil and EMP everybody in that area tee hee
Not a big deal, but I'm guessing it's actually 345 KV....?
