Only a dumbass union electrician would even think about working high voltage hot. Idiots, lucky they are still alive.
@peteware1 as a union electrician i would show you what a real wireman is we turn out after 5 an we dont just trim an do lighting maintenance we do it all buddy we do everything and every union wireman can do it all. it must suck to be a scab an only make half the amount we do an still not be able to produce even half the quality of work we do, you wouldnt say this to any union wireman so shut your mouth. union an proud of it!
@nativekid4268 "we do everything and every union wireman can do it all." Thats Bull Shit. I was in the Union. Went through the apprenticeship program and made journeyman. Did my 4 years and got my masters license. Quit the union and started my own business (open shop) and then I learned how to wire a house. That was 20 years ago.You would be lucky to find a union hand who knows the difference between a roto-zip and a sheetrock clip (F-clip).
600 Volts goes right through the resistance of human skin .. not sure what kind of power was involved here but anyone that has electrical exposure must go to the hospital immediately because it is possible to die from exposure well after an incident occurs... if he would've been sweating up a storm he might've been fried internally
I once crossed the phases and died... Several days later I arose from my grave... I am now known as the HERO-SAVAGE!!! I shock the fuck out of all evil-doers with my Arc-Super-Powers! Sometimes if it isnt enough I use my Bad-Ass-Plasma-Cannon to blow the heads off of the bitch-ass population, like faggots, and killers, and ugly fat chicks... I am not what the world wants, I am what the world NEEDS!!!
Anyone know the fate of these two workers? From what @ArclightPrime said, one or both of them might possibly radiation burns and other injuries that could be fatal. The jittery picture seems to show them being hit by the flash; not just an abient or proximate exposure.
I certainly hope that the have recovered from the injuries that I assume they've suffered.
@adiostraitorobama those aint normal electricians xD they get paid something like 200 bucks an hour on like huge jobs like that.... they also go thru like 2000hrs of training and all that to do the best to avoid what you saw! but ya i respect them no matter what they are working with! its not the volts that kill you its the AMPS just over half an amp can kill a full grown man! most big breakers like that are like a few hundred or thousand amps! they are lucky to have survived
@tylerwalker2 lol I wish we made $200 an hour, and to clarify about amps, its actually the "power" or amount of energy that would kill if contact was made, which is volts x amps. What most people dont understand is what happened here is what scares us (or me anyway) the most, the arc flash. I've seen a mans skin begin dropping off just 20 minutes after a bad flash. That man died from the radiation he received from the flash. Its like being in a tanning bed for 2 months, thats what he got in vid.
I first viewed this video taking an OSHA class, the instructor said that the guy in white was actually fatally injured. He died from complications to the burns a few days after the incident.
Both of them had hearing and seeing damage to a severe extent, and it was just a daily routine of testing the volts. IT was hit by lightning and all the power behind it decided to come out when they tested it.
damn that guy is lucky to be alive. i know of someone who died from touching a power line (240volt) and those boxes are way higher. im not sure where this vid is but in australia these power boxes are thousands of volts and very high amperage.
@BassOnABudget i live in EU. . .and,i'm a class 3 certified electrotecnic. . . .so,i work with 230volts, and already took many shocks with it. . . .ur a moron dude
@Bahamut347 it was a close friend that died man. and it was 240 volts. it kills. being an electrician u should know better. and its not the voltage, its the amperage.
Except for some occasions where the voltage is extremely high but with a very low amperage (for example static electricity)
And the classification of dangerous electricity is the following
"When the voltage, amperage or the frequency is high enough to cause damage to person or property" Places that have these are classified as "strong current installments".
A higher voltage will make it easier for the current to jump from one leading material to another (At higher voltages it can easily jump through the air)
And yes the most directly dangerous part of electricity is amperage, but with a high voltage it's pretty much certain that the amperage will be above 20mA (Which is the point where it will cause damage to your body)
But with insufficient amount of voltage those amps won't be able to penetrate the Ohm of your skin (It will only burn you)

I'd like to hear the punchline to your OSHA joke, after falling debris hits your OSHA required hard hat... What, your head is better defense against falling debris than a regulation hard hat? OK, judging by your comment I'd bet it is.
@ConserveTheUSA I'm not talking about a hard hat. Rules and regulations are meant for fines. But here comes OSHA treating grown men like 2nd graders to wear more and more gear until they can hardly move to do a job. And no amount of protective gear is going to save a welder when a pipeline blows.
Judging your comment makes me think you've been hit hard in the head.
The video is a series of photo's, displayed real time:
- Notice the panic of the uninjured man in dark cloth.
- At the 28 second mark the leg of the light clothed man catches fire. This is 25 seconds after the flash.
- The injured man is shedding black debris. This is charred muscle tissue. Part of his upper leg exploded, but was contained by his safety suit. Contact with air made the hot remains ignite.
In an arc flash incident, the biggest worry has nothing to do with what volts is being supplied or the fault current, but the vaporised copper that ends up getting on your skin, in your face and eyes, etc. Whilst your tool or faulty switchgear might cause the short, its the burns you get from the exploding metal that does the damage.
@leeryman Correct. Jeffery Deavers' newest novel "The Burning Wire" features a villain who uses the electrical grid as a weapon, and whose first victim dies in a storm of molten metal. Scary that it can actually happen.
I had some electricians working on a busted high voltage wall at work and I asked why they constantly spoke aloud about everything they were doing, and they told me so that if you get electrocuted then the other guy knows the last thing you did, so he doesn't make the same mistake.
well, tnt is about 4 megajoules per kilo, 10 mega watts is 10 megajoules per second, so a 10MW arc is the same as 4 kilos of TNT going of every second!
You are incorrect, and your supporters are easily lead due to their ignorance! How so? Because you need voltage to push amps through, amps are just a measure of the amount of electrons present, voltage is a measure of the 'pressure' if you will . Amps don't murder, people murder. They can use electricity to do it or they can use a gun, but there has never ever been a case where electricity has committed a crime. Idiots!
@ConserveTheUSA lol you have that entirely backwards, shouldn't you be burning Qurans in florida with the rest of your ultra conservative friends?
But anyways obvious troll is obvious and i'd probably find something more to do with your time then make obvious troll posts on youtube, finding a girl friend (or a boy friend if thats your thing) would be a good start, although judging from your posts and homepage i doubt you should be allowed to produce children.
@ganymedeIV4 right you are to explain it in a simple way is the example of how you can touch a 9volt battery to your tonge and it doesn't kill you due to the fact it cannot produce enough amps
@ganymedeIV4 Yeah the current is the killer. I have took 1000 volts through my little fingers, it's not too pleasant but stick some amps on the end of that and it will blow your fingers off!
@ganymedeIV4 True, but you simply dont get high voltage without high current. You can't touch a high voltage power line without being seriously injured of killed, even if the current is relatively low, because the high voltage will induce a high current across your body.
@gww1 that's not entirely true. what happens if you increase the resistance dramatically then??? just saying.. Tazer guns work off 50KV but they don't have a significant enough current rating to cause a fatality. how do they do this then? electric theory can be manipulated to cause a variety of different outcomes. electricity is distributed at a higher voltage to decrease the current rating. when it gets to LV the load demand increases which is why LV cables are often bigger than HV
Ok, so you have a 30000 Volt source that is only capable of supplying 1 mA. That means that the source has an internal series impedance of 30 Mohms.
The non-breakdown impedance of skin (where the body has the least loading effect on the source) is about 100 kohms.
If you put 100 kohms in series with the 30 Mohm impedance of the source, then the maximum voltage that will ever be presented to the skin will be 100 volts. It will never be a 30000 volt shock.
@alonehihi Doesn't take that much. As little as 50mA ( one twentieth of one Amp ) can cause ventricular fibrillation ( when the heart beats sporadically ). That is why, in Australia, residual current devices ( circuit breakers ) for domestic installations must trip before reaching a fault current of 50mA.
Wow, when I saw that flash, I thought for sure they were gonners. Arc flashes are the number one electrical killer. I wonder why they didn't have their arc flash suits on though? Well, then again, they didn't look like they thought it even had a possiblility of doing that.
arc blasts reach temperatures hotter than the sun (supposedly) and literally liquify the copper as it blows out onto the electrician... shits ugly it will melt your face off.
Yes I have heard about it- electric arc is a plasma and it can reach several thousand degrees C, which is similar to temperature of surface of the Sun. It is not difficult to imagine what sort of damage it can do to your body. Accidents like the one shown on video affect electricians, because they have to deal with high voltage/heavy current equipment. General public has got easier access to less powerful devices, which cannot produce such an arc blast.
I know I am a Union Inside Wireman, this is a simple 3 phase 480 volt panel or motor starter in which they have jumpered each phase together. There are several in every building you have probably ever been in.
That poor guy is dead, he just doesn't know it yet. Wear PPE everyone, and give yourself space.

But anyways obvious troll is obvious and i'd probably find something more to do with your time then make obvious troll posts on youtube, finding a girl friend (or a boy friend if thats your thing) would be a good start, although judging from your posts and homepage i doubt you should be allowed to produce children.

@ganymedeIV4,
WTF does the Quran, trolls, girlfriends, and children have to do with electrical theory, or the price of tea in China for that matter?
You appear to be operating with excessive hysteresis in your core. Are you wound correctly?

And... What's your point? Is it off topic, again?

@ganymedeIV4 : But more volts = more amps, as long as you (the resistance) remain the same, isn't it?

@drav1dan,
Nailed it!
Current is inversely proportional to resistance.

@ganymedeIV4 And without volts you have NO AMPS ! Ohm's LAW MAN ! COME ON

@ganymedeIV4 right you are to explain it in a simple way is the example of how you can touch a 9volt battery to your tonge and it doesn't kill you due to the fact it cannot produce enough amps
ryanb788 1 year ago
@ryanb788
A 9V battery can create several amps when shorted. So as far as amps
the battery could kill, but:
1) The resistance of your tongue is too much for a measly 9V to drive much current through.
2) More importantly, the path of the current is not along nerves, instead it is along the tongue's surface.

@ganymedeIV4 is right. 65 milliamps (.06 Ma) Can stop the human heart.

@ganymedeIV4 Yeah the current is the killer. I have took 1000 volts through my little fingers, it's not too pleasant but stick some amps on the end of that and it will blow your fingers off!

@ganymedeIV4
but it's the volts that helps amps to go over the resistance
elbruz1965 1 year ago
@ganymedeIV4 True, but you simply dont get high voltage without high current. You can't touch a high voltage power line without being seriously injured of killed, even if the current is relatively low, because the high voltage will induce a high current across your body.
V=IR. (R is you)

@gww1 that's not entirely true. what happens if you increase the resistance dramatically then??? just saying.. Tazer guns work off 50KV but they don't have a significant enough current rating to cause a fatality. how do they do this then? electric theory can be manipulated to cause a variety of different outcomes. electricity is distributed at a higher voltage to decrease the current rating. when it gets to LV the load demand increases which is why LV cables are often bigger than HV

@ganymedeIV4 it is true even if you have 1.5 volts but 800 amps running from head to too you wil be dead

@MrJANTJE123,
How are you going to get 800 Amps flowing at only 1.5 Volts? Human bodies are made of skin and bones, not metal.
79HZGTS 11 months ago
@79HZGTS it is just an example it could be 50 volts but if you have 30000 volts and a maximum output of 1mA it would only tickle
MrJANTJE123 11 months ago
@MrJANTJE123,
Ok, so you have a 30000 Volt source that is only capable of supplying 1 mA. That means that the source has an internal series impedance of 30 Mohms.
The non-breakdown impedance of skin (where the body has the least loading effect on the source) is about 100 kohms.
If you put 100 kohms in series with the 30 Mohm impedance of the source, then the maximum voltage that will ever be presented to the skin will be 100 volts. It will never be a 30000 volt shock.

@79HZGTS : Mr JANTJE123, you go expose yourself to the TEMPERATURE of the arc and then let us know how it feels.

@ganymedeIV4 Volts Doesnt Effect Anything , Amperage Is Dangerous , 300A = Death
alonehihi 11 months ago
@alonehihi Doesn't take that much. As little as 50mA ( one twentieth of one Amp ) can cause ventricular fibrillation ( when the heart beats sporadically ). That is why, in Australia, residual current devices ( circuit breakers ) for domestic installations must trip before reaching a fault current of 50mA.
jimking19 11 months ago
@alonehihi 0.10A is deadly.
300A = getting your limb blown off or third/fourth degree burns.

Wow, when I saw that flash, I thought for sure they were gonners. Arc flashes are the number one electrical killer. I wonder why they didn't have their arc flash suits on though? Well, then again, they didn't look like they thought it even had a possiblility of doing that.

@Necromalix I thought that current flowing through your body is more dangerous i.e. it can cause cardiac arrest. In this case they had some burns

arc blasts reach temperatures hotter than the sun (supposedly) and literally liquify the copper as it blows out onto the electrician... shits ugly it will melt your face off.
cmazzac 2 years ago
Yes I have heard about it- electric arc is a plasma and it can reach several thousand degrees C, which is similar to temperature of surface of the Sun. It is not difficult to imagine what sort of damage it can do to your body. Accidents like the one shown on video affect electricians, because they have to deal with high voltage/heavy current equipment. General public has got easier access to less powerful devices, which cannot produce such an arc blast.
rrynek 2 years ago
I know I am a Union Inside Wireman, this is a simple 3 phase 480 volt panel or motor starter in which they have jumpered each phase together. There are several in every building you have probably ever been in.

@rrynek 40 milliamps is enough to stop a weak human heart, trip switches are set to trip at 30 milliamps (uk).

Its caused by when the electricity travels through the air to get to a less resistant ground source, that just so happened to be these guys
