13 Mv? Not 13,8 Kv?

see what happens when you leave mexicans unatended

[kc5cxu]

Hi dont worry about them poles ther holding ther fiberglass fuse poles.

[arma182]

They just discovered electric stations



[BuGBurnout]

You americans with your number system. In other parts of this world (many of them even) the comma (,) denotes the demarcation of the decimals.

So he indeed was mentioning a 13 POINT 8 (as you call it) KV line.

So I rarely say this (in fact this is the first time): THUMBS UP THIS so that others can see.

[jimbom347]

Yeah. I wouldn't be touching that with a stick.

[toni77fi]

13,800 Kv? Where on earth is that... I mean the best we get around here are 500 Kv

[copman250]

what the hell did he say at 1:40 ? hahahahaha

[kloratis]

What country is this? What language??

[PushingD]

@kloratis Filipino

[deathinmywake]

Abbdnbabailobityi Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[assiduously]

most boring video on the internet?

[zpgJiggleBilly]

Yea, not shit, I wanted to see someone die!

[dmitrisel]

Бригада-Ух ...каменный век. А этот колхозник болтливый почему без каски?Деловой самый...

[kloratis]

чего ещё ожидать от азиатских обезьян?

[lapulapu12345]

wow mga bisaya.... idol!!!!! bwahahahaha.....

[lapulapu12345]

bisaya XD

[fladdy45]

And i miss spelled a couple of things there, yes...

[BigSteve02]

i wonder what the substation workers were talking to the cameraman about, also what was he saying to them. wonder if someone out there on YouTube can tell me what they are talking about.

[sw8741]

none of you noticed this is 13.8KV? its not 13,800KV as the description says. no such thing as a 13,800,000V line. Largest line voltage ever heard of here in the states is 1,000KV. and thats DC not AC.

[fladdy45]

13,8 and 13,800 is the same thing

And if it would be a " . " instead of a " , " would it be different.

The you would have right, but not as its a comma and not a dot

[sw8741]

being from sweden i would think you would understand what kilo means. add the 3 0's to 13,800KILO volt in the title and description and what do u get? but i don't know....maybe in sweden they say thirteen thousand eight hundred and 1 thousand volts instead of thirteen thousand eight hundred. your post would make better sense then.

[fladdy45]

Det är ett kommatecken då är det inte 13800, utan 13,(SER DU KOMMAT!?! ) 800 asså thretton tusen åttahundra och inte trettonhundra tusen.

rtard

[sw8741]

lmao! i understood the rtard! thanks!! if it was coming from someone who has worked on 500KV, 220KV, 110KV, 66KV, 33KV, 13KV circuits like i have, i might feel insulted. if i want to learn about notes, chords, tempo, harmonics,and resonance i'll come to u. deal?

[Assi2004]

actualy u just did the same mistake at the end of ur comment (1,000KV)

btw: its k for kilo and not K

to have it said now: its 13.800V in this video, so 13,8 kV

[redsquirrelftw]

woah surprised that's not arcing like crazy, I would expect such voltage lines to be very far appart and have a good 10+ big isolators .

[FrederickNetwork]

So what? what is the point about this video?

[chrisholloway12]

retarded spanish speakin pplz lol

[MXSLICK]

looks like their smarter than you are dumbass

[chrisholloway12]

oh, gee why would you say that, because i dont stick my ass around electrical equipment> ooh good point there! kudos to you (YEAH THE FUCK RIGHT)

[epicd1996]

совет автору: если тебя кто то ждёт дома то оставь это занятие от греха подальше, тех кто неуважает электричество, оно быстро отправляет

[M8H9R]

you mean 13.8kV

[greekozzi]

Scary

[EagleBeats]

can someone tell me what theyre doing?

[nzoomed]

the guy with the pole is pushing some circuit breakers into position

[Pablofunk017]

13.800 - 220 volt,60 Hz

[Xxero0]

there is no fucking way those lines are carrying 13,800,000v.

[iflymyhelishigh]

what are you talking about?

The amperage could be low to let 13,800,000 volts through

Did you know that DC current needs HUGE wires to conduct the same voltage that AC current can conduct in such small wires? Research first before commenting.

[Xxero0]

ya i knew that. i wasnt even considering the current in them. if the voltage was anywhere near that, the electricity would arc through the insulation directly to the ground. i know its AC current, which is electrons alternating back and forth to the ground (in powers lines and things of that sort).

[cabasse]

i think that's backwards, the skin effect is a side effect of ac power that needs more surface area (therefore larger wires) hvdc is able to get away with using thinner conductors.

still, nonetheless, i've never heard of a 13 million volt transmission line, anywhere, ever. it's a typo.

[Mandersen2006]

Take a look at the isolators chains. That's the small dish looking thingies.

If that voltage was supposed to be anything above 1 MV, those isolator chains would have been several meters long.

I've never heard about transmission lines above 1 MV either, but feel free to correct me.

There are many problems when you go above 400kV. The step voltage alone at 13,8 would be enourmous.

And isolation would be a nightmare

[dancyou2b]

Yes but it may only be at a low current

[bigwoolleypenguin]

There is one very long power line in Russia that uses1150 KV , but this is the only one & this is the highest transmission voltage used in the world. Next down from this are 800KV and 750Kv ( in various countries) . Once the voltage goes above about 1300kv there are problems with " leaders " forming , just the same way as a lightening discharge forms & arcs can form over large distances , for example from a power line to the ground , spontaneously . Thats why much over 1200KV cant be used.

[goondawg64]

Dont forget about us substation workers. we gotta work with all the equipment up to 600kv.

[sorwoggpm]

Numbers such as thirteen thousand eight hundred are written as 13,800 most non-U.S. countries. (Commas in place of decimals). They often use decimals in place of commas, too.

[plateshutoverlock]

T title should say 13.8 kilovolt (unless those lines are actually carrying over 13 million volts. :O

[darkfyreaol]

If they were carrying over 13 million volts, they'd be crackling with static discharge and no amount of hand protection would keep the workers from being turned into instant flaming toast.

[jmkord]

Face Shield? Safety Glasses? Fire Retardant Clothing? Ladder? Where's OSHA? :P

[kingcrimson74]

Safety Glasses???

[prototype9000]

theres about 14,000 volts that travel thru public lines then stepped down at the distribution transformer on the pole right outside your house linemen work on those lines everyday at that voltage

[jaguar82130]

i think u guys woulda died at 13.800

[jonnyofthecoolness]

worst video ever

[evikpain88]

If if really is 13.800 kV they would have been fried from that distance, so probably 13.8 kV! ;)

[leabuelo]

13800 k?? thats 13.8 Mvolts enough to electrocute a whole city lol

[soltvj]

No it`s not! 13,8oo Kv. is 13800 volts. there is a comma there :)

[asdffdas1234]

The meaning of comma vs dot varies from country to country. For clarity one should never pad the fraction that with zeros. Sometimes pad to 2 or 4 to show precision, but never 3.

Or if there was need for precision use correct prefix multiplier that gives no fraction.

[PaulyCracker]

Boy-oh! Boy-oh! Let me do it! ZAP!

[PhazonSouffle]

what the hell, no one was electricuted or anything. what a disapointment

[bengladston]

Hmmm how safe is that?

[mackjsm]

a job I would never have... frikin scary.

[technetium99m]

Did you mean 13.800 Volts...?

[Liam2020]

That can't be 13.8Mv, they would be toasted if it had that voltaje

[xyzzy123456]

It looks like the power was off to start with and then around 1:20 you can see them connecting the HV.

[Liam2020]

Oh you are right, thanks man.

[Sahalaita]

13,8kV through that thing, sure. I´d plugged my electric guitar to that and play some shocking shit, and fry. ^_^

[eXOBeX]

1000x even!

[Arkthurius]

13,800 Kv OMG!!! that is 100 times our usual 13.8 Kv mains distribution... =)

[jmartis2]

this is 13 kilovolts, not megavolts :P (13MV will probably arc over 30 meters)

[bjtaudio]

@jmartis2 I recall reading somewhere the upper practical limit for AC transmission is under 2MV as plasma streamers start to form, and it becomes impossible to control by just more separation alone. the 13,800Kv was a typo it's just local transmission at 13.8KV.

[leo33031]

@jmartis2 yes tol tama ka dyan it could result a catastrophy.
