When the voltage is high enough it's gonna happen as long as there is a little current in the circuit. Like a transformer primary winding. It's an inductive load so the current wants to keep flowing. The air ionizes and conducts the current. As the gap gets bigger it won't conduct any more. It's pretty common.
Absolutely no load, this line was disconnected from the load prior to cut the wires. The current keep flowing because of the conductors are quite long and the parasitic capacitance between the conductor and the other conductors (and also to the ground) is not negligible.
@@teslacoiler Well, I don't think the frequency is high enough for parasitic capacitance to be a significant issue. The arc is initiated by inductive lag and as the air ionizes from the arcing, the voltage being quite high, supports the current flow until the distance becomes too great. There are other factors at play, but I believe that what I described is primary reason the arc draws out when the circuit is broken. It may well be a different explanation for an arc generated from thin air across two points, like if you brought these two wires slowly together after the arc was extinguished. In that case, as you brought the two wires very close together, but not touching, the arc generated across the gap would be tied more to parasitic capacitance. But the distance that arc jumped will be comparatively small to what you see here. At very high frequencies but the same voltage, I believe you would see that arc jump somewhat sooner and at a longer distance. It's been decades since I dabbled in this side of electrical theory and I would have to pull the books out to run the calculations, but I think I have the basic theoretical principles right. I'll be glad to look at anything you can show me to support your idea here. I'll be the first to admit that I can get a bit rusty after not using something for quite a while. High voltage distribution is not the sweet spot of my expertise..
I was thinking the same thing. All the line men I work around where the big ass yellow insulated or what ever gloves that go all the way up to their shoulders. I also noticed they didn't put no insulators on the surrounding wires. I'm amazed that shit didn't get very ugly.

Sometimes they can’t because the line is still powering something else down the line so that’s why we have to do hot work and wear gloves or set grounds but looks like they didn’t set no grounds lol

@@michaelmeier5588You are right but it’s not exactly all 115kv same! For an example with outlets it says 120v but when checked it could say around 123.4v
Technically no, since they are not grounded the electricity is harmless if that makes sense. Squirrels and birds easily run and fly across these power lines all the time no problem but once they touch the ground wire it’s game over
@@OffMollyBro In the simplest way - ground wire is the wire all the electricity goes to with least resistance. You would often see in circuits or some electronics a connection called "GND", thats ground. If theres a very high voltage that goes to a ground wire that works properly then there is a very small chance to none that you would get electrocuted with the saying that goes "current travels by path with least resistance".
@@longwayjeff1492 Wrong. You have to touch both wires (live and neutral/ground) to get electrocuted. Electricity does not conduct if the circuit is not closed. If you stand on the ground you are technically "touching the ground". This guy will almost likely get electrocuted if he touches that live wire (on high voltage line) as his rubber gloves and shoes do not 100% guarantee that he is not electrically linked with the ground (except if his shoes and gloves are in absolute dry and clean condition which is virtually impossible because he prolly sweats and dirts carried by wind can still get on his gloves and shoes even if they never walked with those boots before.
I like his high voltage gloves... Shows that he is definitely prepared for this job... For those who don't know he should be wearing 1000 V gloves With a protective pair of gloves over those to make sure that you don't poke holes in the 1000 V protective gloves. That is proper PPE for this application.
