typically most power lines by the road are 7200v... (typically). Those cutout fuses are loud when they blow. One night the power went out, came back on 30 seconds later, then I heard a massive BOOM, like someone was shooting a shotgun. I think a power malfunction happened, The safety caught it, and blew the fuse to prevent any more damage. I think it was like 4 blocks down, But sounded like it was right outside. Cool video.
This happened near my house the other day, but with a whole tree and really high power lines...there's no more tree there...just a bunch of splintered wood
Tree branch fell across a couple of the phases, and since wood is not a good conductor the branch heats up and starts on fire. Once the fire reaches all the way across it causes the conditions to be right for the power to ionize the air and jump across. But I didn't see any "explosion". Thats my take on it.
The fuse was probably a relay that sensed the problem and then annoyed people that thought the power being out is the power companies fault .Trees Bastards!!
that branch tress is burning because the protection device of the system is not working.. because of it, the electrical current keeps flowing and burning that branch
The "explosion" was the upstream fuses blowing. No more power. No more noise. This looked like a phase to phase fault. When it arced over, the fuses blew.
I'm no scientist or electrician, but my best guess is this: When 7500 Volts travel through the branch, the water inside of the tree's bark heats up. A lot. That steam is trapped inside the branch and can sometimes colgate into a pocket inside of the branch. Once the pressure is too much for the branch to handle, pop.
It becomes more and more conductive over the time. When the resistance is low enough the electricity can flow through the carbonised wood causing a short between the two lines.

We shall never forget him, pray my friends.
When the flames reach clear across the limb it creates a ionized path.
Ionized air has low resistance and conducts enough current to blow the fuse.
I dunno why, but I laughed my ass off when that thing finally blew.

14 years ago - now I get it. Thanks. See you all next year.
Ouch!!!!! Sounds like the branch did a good job of shorting out the circuit and blowing the fuse feeding this part of the circuit.

Boop!
tree limb went boom!

der knall ist geil,wie ein maschinengewehr schuss
Powerlines are showing the branch who's boss. Hell yeah.
The sound of the explosion and the raining debris afterward makes me cackle.
Aw, it's crying. . . *Sniff. Poor limb. . . 😭
cutout fuse blows, sounds like a shotgun. Its LOUD!. just the lines safetys working as they should when they detect a overcurrent fault.

Thanks good guy greg!
0:28 TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE EXPLOSIVE PART
whistle, squeeeeee, *silence*...BOOM! lol Cool
I am interested in overhead trees trimming line work,and that is what I am doing now as a supervisor
gotta love vaporized water
that branch tress is burning because the protection device of the system is not working.. because of it, the electrical current keeps flowing and burning that branch
разве они не обязаны срезать верхушки деревьев?????
and the crowd gos wild
When I was a kid I use to throw old Christmas tree lights on to live lines, gotta nasty burn one time too. : )
A fire like that can be a risk cause it can burn the wire, right?
It is not explosion, just ARC caused by fire and short circuit!
Read some about dynamic resistance
0:22 creeper sound effect
Whoa pum Gangnam style !!
Poor tree! :(
was that pop act like a fuse?
No way that's only 7500 volts. I cut trees around powerlines, that's at least 33000
7200v is enough to do that to branches.
A pop not an explosion....
Dramatic title
who won?
it looks like a moustache in the thumbnail
It's not exactly an explosion...
sounded like motorola radio to me..
Who's watching in 2021
anyone notice that it got extremely quiet after the explosion?

did he died???
who turned off the porn? oh a tree!
I know why he stopped the video....because there was no more electricity
It sounds like it's crying. . . 😭
Power company needs to do a better job at cutting trees back. Co-ops do a better job at this than IOUs imho.
lol wtf cashier register sound thing.
why would the tree explode lol

Im on the Electric side of RUclips
boom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
seriously?
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd lines dead...
WINDOWS ERROR
Electric Funeral
hahahaha fuse naturals
