In the second video, that mist isnt water, its a chemical agent used in sub-stations to amplify the electricity in transformers. The chemical is very flammable when formed as a water vapor, and that last electrical arch indefinitaly ignited it causing a very large fuel-air bomb. Just speaking out to random comments. Btw, nice vid
I know this is a very old comment but no, it does not 'amplify the electricity'. Its oil. Its just oil. Transformers are full of oil to insulate the windings to stop electrical arcs, and to cool them. The transformers overheated, the oil expanded because it got hot, boiled, sprayed out, and lit, as oil does, on the arcs, and made a fuel air.. fire. Thats it! Just oil!
I’m a land surveyor, we do a lot of work for Duke Energy over here in North Carolina, we work in substations all the time and I can’t stress enough how important it is to wear proper clothing and boots and everything safety involved, I look over my shoulder all the time to check and to see if my co- workers are okay, I’ve heard very scary stories from many elders working for Duke Energy and I do not mess around electricity, I always look out for my brothers!!!
Workers who must work near high voltage electricity must be well aware of the hazards. Employers must also be aware of these as well as providing their employees with any necessary training and safety equipment they may need.
The electricity arcs when a connection at a power station or in a powerline breaks. The electricity finds the easiest way to flow which, because of the break, is now through the air.
@aldamano9 that is pressurized oil vapor/steam from inside the transformer escaping - large primary/secondary transformers are oil cooled and tighly sealed due to oil containment procedure requirements. the arcing caused the oil to heat rapidly - so much that the oil self ignitied once it reached fresh oxygen when the transformer catostraphically failed. what you saw was formed from internal pressure - something had to give eventually.
There’s just something about substations that make me uneasy but seeing old VHS-like videos of them malfunctioning is just a whole other level of disturbing. Other than the obvious arcs and sparks, I cannot put my finger on what makes them so creepy and foreboding. Maybe it’s just a phobia for me specifically. like how people have submechanophobia. The first and third clips made me shiver.
It will if you’re grounded. If you aren’t, nothing will happen. That’s how birds can sit on the wires without getting fried. You’ll be fine if you’re for whatever reason hanging onto it, or balancing on top of it. As soon as you set foot on any ground surface, you’re crisp.
Electricity ionises air Ionised air is a good electrical conductor Increase air flow before switching to move away ionised air Disperse ionised air Ground the dispersed ionised air Use turbo diesel engine and aircraft propellers to increase air flow from many angles aimed at the switches for wide dispersion Use wire fence mesh, many independent modules, to ground the resulting dispersed air Convection of ionised air is pretty
Yeah. That equipment is cooled by mineral oil, which is explosive - what you saw there was the coolant tank rupturing, and the oil getting ignited by the short. Nice bang though, I wonder how much of the transformer was left after it...
the fire department isn't that supid..what i think happened is, one of the transformers burst open caused by pressure building up, which resulted in the oil inside of it gushing out, that caused a chain reaction..fire depatments use a special powder to put out electrical fires
It sort of is. It's plasma. High energy gives off light and heat and when a gas such as oxygen is superheated by energy such as electrical current it can burn hotter than fire and become plasma.
Arcing occurs due to a high difference in charge between two points. For instance, if you are charged and touch a grounded/neutral door handle, there is a spark/arc called Electro-static-discharge (ESD). In electrical circuits, this is caused by a positive and ground charge separated by a gap called a Spark-gap. This concept is sometimes used for high-frequency power like in a tesla coil where charge builds up in a capacitor until it arcs across a small gap, momentarily completing the circuit. By the way, it takes about 30,000 volts to arc 1 cm through open air. If sustained, there is enough energy to turn air into a (pinkish-blue) plasma. I hope that answer was sufficient.

At 1:12 if it blows up you won't have time to hit the ground. It'll be more like the ground hitting you, right after the Shockwave does
0:48 I think this kind of voltage could kill you 100 times in a second.
It will if you’re grounded. If you aren’t, nothing will happen. That’s how birds can sit on the wires without getting fried.

Electricity ionises air
Ionised air is a good electrical conductor
Increase air flow before switching to move away ionised air
Disperse ionised air
Ground the dispersed ionised air
Use turbo diesel engine and aircraft propellers to increase air flow from many angles aimed at the switches for wide dispersion
Use wire fence mesh, many independent modules, to ground the resulting dispersed air
Convection of ionised air is pretty
Why were the pieces moving around in the first clip? I’m confused

No, you may not use these to make bombs.

It sort of is.
It's plasma.
High energy gives off light and heat and when a gas such as oxygen is superheated by energy such as electrical current it can burn hotter than fire and become plasma.
lol that last one was like a digerydoo
Just by watching this makes us look really powerless
So is that fuse faulty?
Can someone direct me to an explanation what and when arcing occur. I need something like from chemical/electrical point of view.

For instance, if you are charged and touch a grounded/neutral door handle, there is a spark/arc called Electro-static-discharge (ESD).

I hope that answer was sufficient.
Plasma is conductive, the voltage basically drops at that point.
