These guys didn't get shocked it's an electrical flash. Don't go around telling people they can touch a hot wire as long as they aren't grounded. Your basically asking someone to kill themselves. Too many dumbass's in this world, and too many dumbass's doing electrical work.
Yea, working on switchgear sucks. Many time there are still live control circuits in the cabinet even when the mains are off. Ungrounded systems and "grounded B" systems are still common in Milwaukee area as well. A phase rotation meter only works on live circuits though, but they have to be able to handle whatever voltage is present just like any other meter. I've seen meters explode when used on high voltage circuits. We used to work on live stuff all the time, now we rarely do.
So Jim how's the wife and kids doing ? Kids are great but the wifes a bitch ! Shit sorry to hear that , mines been acting up too , hey can ya pass me the BOOOOOM !
this shit's scary. i will always wear my ppe and follow proper safety procedures because i am terrified of getting electrocuted. i am going on deployment on my first ship in one week, and between this and that crazy Final Destination 5 movie, i feel like rolling sleeping in my ppe lol.
ppe??? i have rubber boots,gloves and a full face visor worn at all times working live never mind the oldest saying in this trade " treat everything as live untill proved and locked out"!!!

assumption is the mother of all fuck ups. In the UK you must do a switching schedule and have it checked by another HV certified engineer to avoid this happening
What the hell is this two apprentice to one journeyman bull crap? If that ratio is allowed in your union contract, you need to elect a new business manager.
Guy in my neck of the woods was to work on a lighted interstate sign. Don't know what kind of power is running up there. He was told power was off, it wasn't, blew his freakin arms off. NEVER trust someone else. Check for yourself.
No PPE. The story here is that 2 of the 3 guys ended up in medically induced comas for over a year in order to recover from their injuries. In one frame you see a guy pull his hard hat off. That big stringy thing that appears in that frame is his scalp, his hard hat wasn't FR rated and it melted to his head.
@tonymengela You're an evil prick. How can that possibly be funny? Anyway, funny videos aren't choppy and slow, they're in fast forward with the Benny Hill music in the background.
@thepigeonsmustdie Thank you for the compliment,, your such great authority on comedy huh. your probly one of those who masturbate to benny hill as well.
My Father a long time lineman was on a crew working on a transformer . When it blew and sprayed flaming oil all over his buddy up in the bucket . He jumped from the bucket on fire to escape the arc and larger fire . His friend never worked again and has some nasty scar's . But he lives to talk about it .
ok they knew it was live. its in a food processing plant and they needed to do it live. I am an electrician and we do stuff like this all the time. the guy screwed up and slipped she shorted and blew up. the only thing these guys did wrong was they werents wearing proper arc flash gear which would have saved them from the burns. you cant always shut off what your working on
@Nnovata If they got shocked, which looks like it would have likely happened, they would have shat their pants because voltage tends to clamp peoples bowel muscles so quickly it pushes you know what out.
Ever herd of hot work?…you can’t always have electrical components “locked out” due to testing and other things that require the components to be energized.
@paulthesteelman I've seen guys with their meter connected to 480 and then close the unit's door on the leads pinching through the insulation and BOOM!
@Nivicoman Oh yeah arc flash is a very real danger the only time I have to mess with hot panels is when we are doing our annual thermography so everything has to be under normal working loads when we take the IR pictures I hate wearing the PPE’s but at the same time welcome them over the alternative. Other than that I love my Lock Out!
@johnorlitta They probably needed to check for voltage or phase without shutting down and interrupting service. I do so and hold my breath at anything over 240.
@Nivicoman Thanks for the response, after I posted I thought about it and figured that what they were doing was exactly the procedure that you mentioned. There has to be a safer way to do this though, right?
@HFsurfer It was probably a 600 volt phase detector on 138 Kv. I heard of a guy using a 120 volt test light on 480-bulb filament collapsed and shorted setting his shirt on fire.
@chrisose Capacitors, particularly the bigger ones, can hold an enormous amount of current long after they are disconnected from their power supply. They are a lot like batteries that constantly charge and discharge themselves, saving electrical cauurent for when it's needed.
Capacitors are not typical in sub-station applications and are normally used at the point of use, particularly to buffer motor starts and power supplies.
The incident shown in the video was most definitely NOT a capacitor discharge.
