"Transformer Spark"??? No, no, no. Very badly mislabeled. There are no transformers and no sparks in this video. You are looking at 3 switches opening, and one of them arcs. Hence the title should be "Huge Arc As Switch Opens", not "Transformer Spark". A "spark" is about 1/10 inch long. This arc was about 400 inches long. That's 4000 times larger than a "spark". A "spark" is a small ember of something burning. An "arc" is plasma, not an ember.
@Allaisverige1 nobody also gives a shit that you have to display your ignorance and low intelligence by insulting others that try to educate peole (even if he was being a bit pedant.
The power company had previously encountered difficulty interrupting one of the three phases when trying to disconnect the line reactor. The substation maintenance crew set up a special test so that they could videotape the switching event, and they made arrangements to "kill" the experiment, if necessary, by manually tripping upstream circuit breakers.
Ace in billions of ways.
