This reminds me of the loud transformer on the street next to my childhood park. Always loved that thing and the beautiful buzzing sound it produced. Appreciate you posting this, got me feeling nostalgic lol
Since this is 50Hz 3 phase power the humming is actually three 100Hz tones that are 120° out of phase.
It sound like a bit… deeper?
Looking at the audio with a decent real time analyzer I get a peak at 50Hz (-40db), a peak at 100Hz(-36db), and a peak at 200Hz(-42db). The 100Hz peak is the loudest.
I really like this transformer sound. At the Railway, the Main Transformer of the Electric Locomotives V43 Szili and V63 Gigant and V46 Csöpi has the same loud and wonderful 50 Hz sound. I really like to listen while I work while filling the water tank of the trains with water between the two tracks and I always hear this Electric Locomotive Transformer 50 Hz sound. Thanks for uploading.
It sounds a bit like the ambient hum of the 25kv ohle at birmingham new street station on platform level
Thank you sir. Koszenem szipen baratom.

I found electric locomotive hum mesmerizing in my youth.
Regardless of voltage, I wouldn’t go near that thing.
its not running at full load haha so no worries
@@bartje0505 Full load is probably enough to pulverize a bike. But what you claim to be a small voltage is probably enough to blow the limbs off a person.

Some car battery chargers make this sound all the time when plugged in
@sort of guy? awesome!
I think it sounds menacing. It's like the unstable human discovery which we try to tame and control but it just humms and growls like it's ready to shock you dead.
Try listening to it 24h for several months. Trust me, you will hate it.

I work in some 1960s era HV substations that have old and 'noisy' transformers inside battery chargers, so this is a sound that i quite enjoy! We also have some sites with big autotransformers outside, but they have a slightly deeper hum that i'm not so keen on... Thank you for taking the time to record and upload this!
Thank you sir.
Reminds me of the big 460 volt battery chargers we have at work. 60 cycles here though. 50 just sounds “beefier”
460 volt battery.. holy crap i thought a 12v battery was a high voltage enough for a battery
@@AntiShadman6969 primary side is 460 volt, batteries are usually 36 or 48v made from lots of 6 volt cells
@@murdoch3396 alright thanks! And if youre still working with high voltage be safe
In romania we also have 50 hz and this sound is very relaxing, gives me goosebumps!
Helps me sleep. Makes me feel tingly! Haha 😃
Awesome Humm & bizzzzzzzzzzz at the same time ⚡️⚡️⚡️3 phase thank you for sharing. Relaxing
Everyone saying it's not 50 hz - shut up. Put it into any sound analyzer and you'll see that it's 50 Hz + a bunch of harmonics
Exactly !!! There is 50Hz fundamental and some 3th,5th,7th,9th,.. harmonics. 216,6Hz component of remote control could be superimposed in certain time periods as well..
Around 216.667@@suriva
The main peak is at 200 Hz.
Well roughly 50Hz anyways. No AC signal is constantly a perfect 50Hz, it goes up and down very slightly depending on how many people are using electricity.
good luck with the rest of the week we will be in there a few weeks later than usual lol lol i’m lol and we will have a great weekend with the sun buddy and we will be together a lot more than we can do for you 😂
me there: *haha relaxing*
me if this sound was at home: *im gonna leave this place*
I became addicted to this if I want to sleep
is it weird that I can only fall asleep to these types of sounds, such as the arc of a transformer or a old radio buzz, or the static of a radio?
Not weird, I've been listening to those since I was 14 years old. You can also try out nebulizer sounds
Hell no you're ot alone! I love sounds like this!
i always imagine me microwaving my head while listening to this :)
I could totally sleep in that room.
I'm more of a 60Hz guy, but still, I'll fall asleep to this just the same :)
50Hz sounds nicer to me.
@@LoganT547 Indeed, and I'm American myself, 50Hz is nicer to me too
Leave a 10kVA transformer energized next to your bed while u fall asleep. That's what I do
@@EnderShadowborne I live in a country where 60hz is used and I also prefer 50hz
I needed a new humming sound. Always love listening to "Calming & Relaxing 60 Cycle Hum", but overuse has diminished the effect it had on me. It's surprisingly hard to find good ones. Tried looking up fluorescent lighting noises and either got short, obvious loops, or ones with a ton of random noise.
Anyway, many thanks.

The sound of this video combined with my refrigerator's compressor in the background is producing some kind of strange oscillation. I live in 50hz country
synchronicity
I suspect that compressor sound very similarly, but not exactly the same. So sound waves interfere differently depending on time. Sometimes constructively, sometimes destructively

Here in Finland, we call that a distribution transformer(20kV / 0,4kV) and those that are power transformers, are about 2...3m tall, rating 10MVA...100MVA(110kV / 20kV)
there are many distribution systems worldwide.. I have a 110KV transformer in another videos.. these are just specials.. most of the urban network is 22kV.. I can make dozens of vids with that but I dont find it interesting...

Nice dry type transformer! Most I've seen are resin encapsulated (this appears to be some fibre glass composite). What's it's pri voltage? 11kV?
This transformer is from early 1980s before the whole resin die cast era... never ever saw one fail... primary voltage is 6kV

How did you get that close to it with it arcing at you?

@@inductivelycoupledplasma6207 then why i have i seen videos of microwave transformers at 2 kv making huge arcs jumping several inches?
@@EphemeralProductions because once the arc has started it can be stretched out. A 2kV arc won't strike until about 1mm. Depending on the current, the arc can be drawn out much longer than this

The ferromagnetic core vibrates at twice the fundamental frequency. because it expands and contracts in each half cycle respectively. therefore vibrates at 100Hz

@@suriva Thank you
suriva: what is the easy explanation of the difference between amps and kilovoltamps?
@@EphemeralProductions Amperes: A measure of electrical current. I.E. how fast electrons are moving in the circuit - as opposed to voltage; how much electromotive force is present.
Kilovolt-amperes: A measure of apparent power, achieved by multiplying voltage times amperage. Not to be confused with kilowatts, which is a measure of true power achieved by multiplying voltage times amperage times power factor.
Inductors and capacitors in AC systems store and release energy every cycle, thereby introducing reactive currents that generate heat in the circuit conductors without performing useful work. Apparent power is the vector sum of true power and reactive power, where both are modeled at a right angle to each other. Power factor is the ratio of true power to apparent power.
i.imgur.com/OLrYlL9.jpg
@@TankCrusher210 I asked for an EASY explanation. That one was a bit over my head. LMAO I have not a clue what true power and reactive power are.
@@EphemeralProductions VA measures the sum of both the real and imaginary components of the power you're transmitting.
Basically, when you power something with DC you are only transmitting real power. All of the current that flows through the wires is coming from the generator and going to do real work in the load at the other end of the wire. In this scenario if you have a 100W load you're also transmitting 100VA.
When you're powering something with AC, however, along with your real (or active) power you can end up transmitting imaginary (or reactive) power as well. This power does not perform any real work (which is why it's "imaginary" in the mathematical sense), but it does exist and gets transmitted anyway, so your equipment needs to deal with it.
An easy way to visualize both active and reactive power is pushing a wheelbarrow or handcart.
If you've got a cart with round wheels (as you presumably do) you're only expending real power: you push, and the cart moves.
Now imagine your cart has oval wheels: you have to push *harder* than before to roll the wheel from horizontal to vertical, and once it tips on the other side the cart yanks you forward. What's happened is that you've once again introduced and imaginary component to your power.
Energy is being transferred back and forth between you and the cart (you push, then it yanks you along, then you push again), but this energy transfer is totally useless. It isn't moving the cart forward at all, it's just causing you discomfort.
The same happens with AC. If you have a reactive component such as a motor, it will keep transferring this useless energy back and forth between your load and the powerplant where the energy is made. The generator pushes your motor forward a little, then the magnet in the motor "tips" and yanks the generator along with it, then repeat.
Your real power may still be 100W, but your apparent power (real+imaginary) may be as high as 120 or 130VA for a cheap motor.
My phone's refresh rate cycles at 50.84 Hz :(
Also that's good when you're using 25 fps.
Also, the frame rate and the humming make a good sync, sound like a four cylinder engine to me.
actually the sound is not 50Hz, but around 120Hz because inductance of transformer make freq phase shifted and create harmonic frequency
It's 50Hz mixed with 100Hz. 120Hz is present with 60Hz transformers.
The harmonics are integers of the fundamental frequency
Yes it is 100Hz because the resonance frequency is double that of the AC frequency
This will be in someone's suggestion list one day.
Actually in a spectrum scope it's not 50hz but its a 100hz armonic. with some 50 and 200 hz spikes
yes, sure its 50Hz and its harmonics (not 60Hz and its harmonics), the load is not linear (nor pure resistive) resulting in presence of higher odd harmonics in the load current
how much voltage is going through it, generally? (Not the KVA but actual voltage)
@@suriva so around 12000 volts.

It's transformer meditation
sounds like a lightsaber
It's not actually 50Hz, it's nearly 192-3Hz but it's very peaceful tho
(Edit: alr so by 192Hz, I'm talking about the audio humming frequency, not the actual electric frequency like a 50-60Hz city voltage frequency.)
Line frequency in this case is 50Hz and the transformer is fed by a 3-phase system. All acoustic frequencies produced are multiples of this fundamental. 50Hz itself is not very apparent because electrical current peaks twice every cycle - meaning magnetostriction in the core (and the sound it produces) occurs at twice the line frequency.
192Hz is impossible. You're probably picking up on the 2nd harmonic of 50, which peaks 4 times every fundamental cycle and produces an audible sound of 200Hz.
Listen carefully with good headphones around 0:04-0:05: You can pick out 300Hz, which is the sound produced by the three cores 120* out of phase peaking a total of 6 times every fundamental cycle. 100Hz is readily apparent - the sound produced by the fundamental of 50Hz peaking twice every cycle.

A microwave transformer makes 2kv
Every device with a mains transformer make this kind of sound. Even a small car battery charger or a radio-clock. Just put your ear next to it and you will hear it clearly. But, it can't have a switching type of power supply (like modern phone chargers), because their transformers work at very high frequencies (like 50kHz for example), it's above the audible frequency so you won't hear anything (or a very high pitch tone).
