230,000 volts disconnecting switch

[djnotso]

Wheres his hardhat, glasses,gloves at? And that is a really sketchy switch to be 230kv

[MrSieish]

who did this?

[MrAngryGorilla2000]

ROBOT PORNO!

Only fun to watch during disconnect...

[TAPriceCTR]

closing a disconectED switch, disconecting is an action, disconected is a status.

there is an arc (which I would guess should have been visible if it were life but that guess could be wrong) it just is MUCH smaller because it does not have a plasma trail to follow. even 9 volts can create an arc visible when you look closely

Aonde esses caras colocaram os equipamentos de segurança, para entrar numa area tão arriscada assim?

[sebas43]

EPM??

[MegaZilber]

muito bom sem capacete sem nada, seu chefe viu isso, vc ja foi apresebtado aos epis?

[ArivaHandale]

ITS FUCKING INTERESTING ;OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HE HAD ACTUALLY DISCONNECTED SWITCH OMFG EXTASY

[gaussman08]

i don't fucking care about the terms the thing is I WANT ELECTRIC ARCS

[McDaedelus]

Rush; This looks to be a transmisson substation or bulk supply point- they're absolutely huge. You've probably only seen what we call "zone" substations that supply a few suburbs.

Cpaul335; Yeah- full sleeves and a hard hat? Some companies must have really lax safety standards! Especially if you're doing HV switching.

[Laindal]

It's connecting, when it connects it's not electric arc, as you can (or cannot) see ¬¬

[zantets]

actually if it disconnects, it can also connects, more appropriate term is an ISOLATORS, to isolate circuit breakers from live lines when they are under maintenance.

[nickyforiasha]

@zantets "actually if it disconnects, it can also connects"??? WHAT

[milnertz]

By the looks of this, the overhead busbars weren't live.

[BOHUNTER]

I dont think PPE would matter if there was a problem~! LOL Why is the manual switch so close to the connection?

[cpaul335]

i like the full PPE hes wearing

[rush2905]

wow never thought disconnecting switches sub stations were that huge

[metermatch]

@rush2905 Those look like transmission voltage size disconnects. The higher the voltage, the more clearance you need. So everything gets bigger.

[CJackSparrow79]

ROTFL!

[SKarmytech]

retarded is connecting switch

[Atomic101Heli]
