  • fool, why isn't his truck bonded to prevent that

  • Seems more like a ground fault than inductive arcing

  • Whomever took this video is a fool. If that was used as a ground from a 345 kv line and was removed at the ground first, they're lucky to be alive. I've seen 25 amps induced on to a ground from a 230kv line.

  • I love pulling 4+ foot arcs off the line earthing switches at my subs, great fun! Even more fun when the locals don't expect it :-)!

  • It's all fascinating...... makes me wonder why HV substations and all have really high barbed wire topped fences around them with warning signs to keep out.....

  • what was your truck arcing to?

  • sweet :)

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    SHUT UP AND ENJOY

  • @revelsdis I agree mate

  • very clever stand there and record it on camera U_U

  • ...so much potential...so few wires.

  • It's called capacitive coupling,not induction.

    The insulator acts as a dielectricum.

  • @PihkalTheTihkal I love your name ;D I have gone on explorations of ~20-25 of them. You know what I'm talking about, and so does anyone else who gets this name ;)

    Thanks for the informative post as well.

  • @Pruffeel wow,some one who knows what my nick means,that's a first.

    So you're also into books....written by Alexander....

    LOL.

  • @PihkalTheTihkal no its not, noob. The man who posted the video knows what he is talking about. 

  • @genogeno1234 : Why the name calling?

    Explain why it has to be induction,perhaps you"ll accomplish more by explaining instead of namecalling...

    The way i see it: 1. conductor (live HV wire) -> 2. insulator ->3. metal clamp -> ground.

    1 + 2 + 3 = capacitor,so therefore i think its capacitive coupling.

    Your turn now...

  • @PihkalTheTihkal The man in the video does this for a living. Also, it looks like induction to me. The problem I have with your comment is that here a man is who does this for a living, and here you come like the Video Professor and tell us what is actually going on, when in fact you are a noob. Please google the word "noob"

  • @genogeno1234: Well i didn't intend to sound like "the video professor" and i didn't want to insult the uploader.

    I also wouldn't call myself a noob since i'm employed as an electrical engineer for the past 10 years,altough i mainly do industrial automation and not HV.

    Let's just say perhaps i've made a mistake and leave it at that.

  • How long is the Wire , where this Voltage is induced and what distance ?

    That musst be powerfull enough to power a bank of LED's or Something ? Ever touched this arc's ?

  • 1amp?

  • i thin it's more electric field than magnetic induction

  • @lo9765 lol electric field is electromagnetism the movement of electrons haha

  • @sada3393 no , electric field is just the influence caused by the voltage and not by the current, the current on a wire creates a magnetic field which if it changes over time( like AC ) it can create current on another wire.

    Since currents on that lines are not that huge ( maybe 50 amps but very high voltages so it's a lot of power anyway, that is why they use such voltages on lines ) i doubt it causes all that , instead it' more probably that it' is caused by AC electric field through air

  • @lo9765 the electromagnetic field in the wire is what is inducing the current in the other one its like a transformer

  • CRAZY!!!

  • @InsaneBurrito45 but your the highest rated comment :)

  • 345 kv, I can imagine what kinda electro magnetic field that gives off and the amount of radiation..

  • Guys i ve been working live work 4 nearly three years wll able to ve children

  • @InsaneBurrito45 One should always shield the two highest comments and then ground the shield. :-)

  • A fantastic way to get yourself killed...

  • If that was magnetic induction, you would have a LOT of CURRENT. This is electroSTATIC coupling. The same effect as the hovering helecopter (no path to ground, whatsoever) where the lineman climbs onto the live wires... but first has to connect the chopper, to make the charge the same. That is electrostatic potential.

  • we got 735 Kv line going in the back of the farm at night time you take a fluorescent tube you ground one end and it will light up if you hold the other end up

    still the power line are about 80-90 feet above ground

    by the way 735 Kv = 735 000 volts

  • @lucpins Free powah!!!

  • @Roffeman1

    TO THE TROLL SCIENCE!

  • That charge is caused by XL (inductance) from the lines above. Voltages spark across 1mm of air gap at 1000volts. So the electric field your being exposed to is 1000's volts/m and magnetic field of hundreds newton-tesla's.

  • thats a small spark not even burnt teh paint.. . as for the large magnetic field you mean weak one .however if it was as big and strong as you suggest you would not be able to video it with a normal type ccd camera end off. the footage is pretty clean which supports my statement.

    something like spherical tokamak has powerful magnetic fields for containment,you try to video with a stand cam its snowy as hell that's a sign that you don't wont to be to close.

  • I like turtles. Do you?

  • @InsaneBurrito45 It was a good joke until I saw you are american.

  • фаза с

    

  • Why the fuck would you even consider playing with that much power?

  • @s308904: So folks can have their microwave popcorn while they watch the newest TV fad in their warm and comfy homes :P

  • In case you're wondering the significance of 345--it's approximately 600 divided by the square root of 3.

  • Maybe you should use earth cables attached to the building. Retards! You should know that as network providers.

  • wind a coil, thats free electricity :P

  • @InsaneBurrito45 You read your own comment before writing it? That would make my brain explode, too.

  • I've gone to a 345 KV switchyard in upstate New York and seen that everything metal such as the fences is grounded. Now I can see why.

  • @Nivicoman Even the ground is grounded at a substation.

  • LICK IT!

  • @metermatch you dipshit pipelines are made of steel. plastic or anything of that nature wouldnt hold the pressure of the gas thats gettin fired down that line

  • @StevenVan88 - As metermatch stated, modern gas pipelines use plastic piping. It's easily strong enough to carry the pressure required for natural gas, and then some. The pipepline walls can be several centimetres thick - you'd need far more pressure than a standard gas pipeline contains, to breach such material.

  • cables are worse. I have seen 34.5 kv cable make a pop so loud while attaching a ground that it sounded like a firecracker.

  • @InsaneBurrito45 LMFAO!!!! :) I hear you!

  • @InsaneBurrito45 What I'd like to know is, where's the sense and utility of it. This is electrical masturbation... Gheorghyi

  • why did they ground a ground?

  • What are you doing you could killl yo self

  • I love this work

  • that is free energy to those that could harvest.

  • @mickk44flungie... no not free energy,,,,, lot of energy has already been spent generating the power in the 1st place on live wire.

  • @datajon Sorry, what i meant was you could harvest the induced current from a parallel floating cable, like in the video...

  • thats why u ground it, before u work on it

  • fdgfgb

  • crazy. Something tell me ipods and cell phones dont like this stuff

  • What's with all the mispelled english on an otherwise boring concept. This isn't a stammering homosexual chat room is it? Waffle waffle...

  • Just a single turn loop too, multiple turns would be interesting

  • It'll still knock your dick in the dirt.

  • fucking around at work.....lol

  • Altho the voltage is high there is very lil current, the small arc you see is a result of the truck being at a different pontential,

  • that magnetic field seems so big you could probably stick a big coil under the line and steal power through induction,

  • If you guys read the video information it says - "electrical arc against truck caused by induction from an overhead 345kv power line." not that its is a 345KV arc. it's prolly 10-12KV, it does hurt though, goes straight through your LV working gloves... :-D

  • yaaaaa thats right fuck around at the power place nuthing bad will happen

  • lick it, i dare ya, infact double dare!!!

  • @makmegs -this might be a breach of edicate but i triple dog dare him

  • @humanity6fl9: "etiquette"

  • @ffelix916 -ty for the clarification, i'm not edumacated enough to spell etiquette!;]

  • why the fuck would you be playin around with that HAHA

  • wow you think thats arcing? you fail dude

  • @spfann1: It is, in fact, arcing. However, the amperage is so low that it's hard to see.

  • if the line is out of service and grounded the small arcing you see wont kill you it only hurts lol trust me i know its what i do ... now if you take a 345kv line outa service the static on the line with no grounds can kill you

  • @MuayThai8548 its people like you that get people killed, induction is induction, i just had a friend get killed for thinking like that.

  • @shbednar yes i know how induction works like a line that is out of service running parallel to a energized line will create enough voltage to kill . but if you read my comment i just state that a grounded line is safe and a ungrounded one is not . so dont put words in my mouth . sorry for your loss but there are steps to take that your friend probally missed and thats why hes no longer here .

  • @shbednar the static from a structure in a substation for example . on the buss supports . being that there is so much busswork in the area and maybe even some overhead lines you will get buzzed from the steel . it is not fatal it just hurts .

  • @MuayThai8548 High voltage eelctricity is dangerous man, and not safer to be fooling around with you get a letahl electric shock and you are dead and fried to toast.

  • @rojblake82 your an idiot ive got 8 years of work experience in this field talk to me when you know what your talking about

  • @MuayThai8548 What I was trying to state was, some people think they are indesructible to high voltage electricity are they candlesticks?. We as a species are not as invincible, as some foolish people like to think they are. Imagine for arguments sake, there were voltages of millions, tens of millions,hundres of millions, billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, trillions, tens of trillions or even hundres of trillions of volts people who got zapped by it would be very dead .

  • @rojblake82 You can have trillions of volts, but they are useless without at least 40 mA.

    And to produce 40 mA with a trillion volts, it means you would need 40 billion watts of power.

    In theory, if used properly the power generated by two 1.5V batteries is enough to kill a human.

  • @rojblake82 What he says should be true.

    When the line is grounded most of the static will be unload to ground because the ground connection usually has less resistance to energy flow than your body.

  • @TheNewTimeNetwork Nobody is immortal, or indestructible, invincible, invulnerable, superhuman or even infallible everybody is mortal and there are things that we cannot survive in any way at all.

  • that maybe a 345 kv line, but that arc is nowhere near that potential...maybe10-50 kv , likely due to the rubber tires partially insulating it, im guessing

  • Yeh i was thinking my mega can produce sparks near enough like that.

  • Its induction caused by the live line on a different conductor running near it not the actual line voltage. And tyres dont insulate very well, they are full of steel bands and the rubber has a very high carbon content.

  • i dare you to stick your tongue to it

  • it's amazing that much power is radiated into the air with electrical and magnetic forces, caused by vibrating current and voltage in the transmission wires

  • Русские анютины глазки

  • can you get cancer if you lived directly under power lines for 10 years?

  • I really think that... there's something dangerous about this, but there's nothing demonstrated.

    Everybody will tell you that.. "NO", and they will plant an electrical station near your home.

  • Sure, but the power lines won't be the cause. You can get cancer if you live on top of the mount everest, 300 meters underground...

    Cancer can be caused by ionizing radiation. If you live directly under those power lines you get small MAGNETIC interference from those power lines. That isn't the type of radiation that causes cancer. Holding a fridge magnet will cause more magnetic flux trough you then those power lines.

  • No, because the non-ionizing radiation involved does not have enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules, that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. Therefore, alterations to DNA cells cannot occur from such energy sources and cancer can not occur.

  • @sonic003573 it does not look possible... same type of power is in the walls all over you (if you are not living in cave or on some place like that) and there is no proof of getting cancer by using lights or other (non radioactive) devices in your house.

  • @sonic003573 Yes you can get cancer living under power lines. Those who say you can't just talk BS!

  • @ICEGTN you can't

  • this guy is about to clamp this lower-end of this grounding cable to earth, with the upper-end clamped to a matallic structure @ a high level. It is basic safety procedure before excuting a maintenance in a EHV substation.

    Instead of clamping the lower-end point of the grounding cable to earth, this guy clamped the same lower part of the grounding cable so that if a part of the clamp is touched to a partially earthed truck --sparks can be generated completing d circuit to ground.

  • this guy is about to clamp this lower-end of this grounding cable to earth, with the upper-end clamped to a matallic structure @ a high level. then he is doing it backwards you always connect the ground first.

  • You could probably steal electricity by putting coils under those power lines :D

  • Yeah. I heard a story about a guy who has a little cabin in the woods. Above it was a high-voltage powerline. He put a coil beneath it, and it caught the magnetic field coming from the powerline, and he was able to get some voltage from the coil. Not much, but he had a lamp and could make coffee. The electrical company who owned the powerlines were doing maintenance, and found the coil. He got a

    "ticket" and had to put it down.

  • Jesus that is crazy.

  • wow induction lol that is intense

  • Touch it.

  • gee, and this only comes from induction.... gotta love those HV girds ;-)

  • there's some serious amount of electricity around it...

  • So where is the 'inductance' coming from then?

  • the inductance comes from the sheer size of the magnetic field surrounding the primaries. the flux area is probably 20 or 30 feet in diameter at those voltages. anything ferrous will become magnetic and anything metallic will generate electron flow from the presence of the magnetic field.

  • @94ninja Ok what I want to know if there is a lets say a natural gas pipeline within a few yards of one of the 345 KV transmission lines and you have a rupture or leak of natural gas what are the odds there could be a explosion? This is a scenario that is brewing w/eminent domain. They are wanting to parrallel a natural gas line w/ a 354 kv reansmission line for miles.

  • @llynallen it will have no effect if the pipe is underground or grounded

  • @llynallen I think that nowadays gas pipelines are plastic, or nonconductibve.

  • @94ninja does this mean this if i hold a fluorescent light bulb under a 500kv power line it will light up?

  • @usernameABCDXYZ Yes it will. It is pretty fun to experiment with aswell =)

  • @Serostern o kool cuz im stayin a friends house who has some 500kv power lines near by and i brought a CFL bulb

  • @usernameABCDXYZ Get one of the really long one (like four feet/1meter) those are SO much more fun! They just light up at the end between your hand (ground) and the power line (hot) =P

  • @Serostern o well, im not there anymore and the CFL bulb did nothing but wile i was there i found some of the long ones and brought them home for my tesla coils

  • @94ninja This is nothing. Stretch out a 100foot long piece of wire near a broadcast am transmitter. You'll get arcs that sing.

  • Isn't inductance caused by a collapsing magnetic feild in a coil? What do you mean, inductance?

  • a/c current from the overhead cables. does not have to be a "coil"

  • A single piece of wire will act as an inefficient coil. A moving charge in one wire will generate a moving charge in an adjacent wire.

  • 345kv i don't think so

  • Comment removed

  • and this is just induction O.o 5stars

  • c'mon, next time you g2 pee on it xD

  • you'd be a christmas tree! XD

  • the yellow lead is the earths connected to a de-energised line running parellel to a live 345kv conductor. the inductance from the live conductor on the de-energised is simply being earthed through the care, as you can see that the clamp is not connected to an earth stake. depending on the length of the parellel conductors and the distance between them, the voltages and current going to earth would vary.

  • to much spare time in your job? (;

  • I was going to say the same thing.

  • The images show a limited sight of the environment to match the truth.

    I guess that the yellow cable is the connection of partitive capacitors.

    The other cable' s clamp which is moved is working as a TA discharging on the vehicle.

    Am i on the right way?

  • ive got a set of lines behind my house that do the same thing when I park my truck under them,

    I sunk a ground rod, connected some cheap 12ga stranded wire to a clip so I can ground my truck when im working in or around it, otherwise itll shock you a bit when you touch it.

  • pee on it

  • I think what's going on here is that he's made a wire loop that is being inductively charged by the ambient magnetic field of a nearby 345Kv line. So, what he is playing with actually has very little current despite the fact that it appears to have at least 10KV on it.

  • HURR DURR LETS PLAY WITH MORE THAN DEADLY ELECTRICITY LOLZz.

  • HHAHAHAHA@@@@

  • Ok, I think what's happening here is that the crew working in the sub/switching station have isolated and earthed up one feeder(High voltage line)- that yellow wire in the clamp is an earth lead.

    There's probably a set of parallel lines which are inducing a voltage onto the truck body (a transformer works in the same manner), which is then jumping to the earth bonding.

    Somewhere, a transmission engineer failed at design :P

  • looks like a substation to me

  • people... he's inducting that ...not holding on to the 345kv ... and he's not an idoit "playing with transformers" .. look at the location.. he's in a power plant .. I'd assume he knows a little bit about electricity

  • thats no 345kv LOL

    5-25kv no more

  • Comment removed

  • @slowenien1992 you are wrong he write 345kv induction, you know what this is ?

  • yes i know

    345kv thats different of this shit

    you must see 345kv really

    then you check what i mean

    sorry for my very terrible english i'm from germany and 17 years old ;)

  • your only 17 and don't know WTF your talking about .. the guy is in the middle of a sub-station.. how many 100KV+ inductions have you made??

  • @slowenien1992

    The line overhead that is causing the induction is 345kV. The spark you see is not 345kV.

  • absolutely right .. otherwhise it's impossible to film this so close ;-) even 25KV is to much ..

  • jejeje, eso es todo!!!! dale en su madre!!!!!

  • Speak english, this is an english site.

  • correction this is an open international site, you can check this in the language selection menu above.

    plus everybody should appreciate diversity.

    for instance i speak 3 languages and learning them was no easy feat, but i did learn one more thing though, you get to appreciate the diversities in the world.

  • got a better idea, everyone learn english and the world will come together rather than be divided.  Diversity causes trouble and it always has.

  • the problem comes from people who cant accept diversity. sadly people that are ignorant and intolerant towards others. these people are narrow minded, limited. its a sad story but its true

  • The human race is geared to attack differences and diversity. It is our nature.

  • Youtube было изобретено в Советском Союзе, и мы все должны писать русскому здесь!

  • Какой глупый, тупой, расистские комментарии. Получить такую детскую чепуху Выкл YouTube, пожалуйста.

  • Comment removed

  • @madamerotten Da da, Tovarishtchu, koniechno:)

  • sabes que, estoy de acuerdo contigo pero lastima que hay personas que no aprecian la diversidad en este mundo.

    español es mi tercera lengua y se que no es perfecto pero lo aprecio mucho.

    saludos desde Chile!

  • that arc is caused by induction, if it was the whole 345kV he wouldn't be filming that :D

  • Ok a quick description of what you are probably seeing here---- the conductors shown are likely ground wires that are clamped together to form a grounded grid system or Which could act as a Faraday Cage around the building. The building is made of metal and has live high voltage conductors running over or nearby inducing a voltage on the building itself. The arcing you see is the potential voltage being transferred from the metal building to the grounded conductors. Bad way to do it though

  • Probably missing a decimal point.

    34.5 kV is the usual voltage.

  • Es cierto se comio el punto decimal, 34.5 KV es un voltaje tipico de distribucion a nivel industrial y de sub transmision entre sub estaciones (cierre de anillos)

  • Theres no possible way this is 345KV That kind of voltage is used only on high tension transmission lines. not to mention 345KV conductors do not have insulation around them. The guys holding a grounding wire with a shotgun stick. Now if induction is causing this then that means the 345 volts is somewhere within 10-15 ft. of that building or the ground which would be an awful design flaw and a deadly move by the guy holding it

  • what i want to know is why are those Insulated Yellow Wires Hanging from the Overhead Lines....

  • hahahaha people

  • haha

  • 345 kv would have messed with the camera too .. and you sure wouldn't survive 38 seconds near a line like that

  • read the info. it's induction. altering 345 kV current is so heavy, that even without touching the cable it induces a current on it. judging by the length of the arc i'd say it's in the kV range as well.

  • nice, wonder how long was that unused cable

  • lol, what the hell are you doing in one of those electrcal stations lol!!!!! very dangerous

  • What means "lol"??

  • Lol means laugh out loud, everyone knows what lol means! lol
