High voltage electrical explosion

[TheRantingCabbie]

You'd think with transmission lines, it would have blown long time ago, but those look like around 33KV lines. That branch is shorting from phase to the high wire, which is grounded. Nevertheless, it a good catch.

@TheRantingCabbie fairly sure the sticks on the distribution line build next to the transmission line? weird angle lol

[TheRantingCabbie]

@ugod519 Considering the video quality says it was recorded with a potato, I had to take another look. It does look like some shorter poles in the background. Probably is arcing from a Y distribution to a delta transmission. That would make for an interesting out-of-phase inductive kick-back if they were related to the same sub-station.

What a burst out.

[TheBarytosz]

nice sound ;]

Electrical explosion after stick fell on power line.

Dropped from International international space station...

Cool vid, but check you surroundings before you lie lol. ;-)

[MightyJustas]

@2000VR well hes obviously not lying

[huckster78]

sweet! i got powerlines like that by my house, now ive got some ideas, ha

[zachaqsw]

lol they must have strong winds or something blew that branch up there and how lucky they were there to film it

[badmotorfing3r]

by "fell" he meant "jumped" on to the line

[BankaiIchigo12345]

I think someone threw it up there. It also is an arc, not an explosion.

[mikeandtiff]

However it fell on it, that was pretty neat

[jmartis2]

hmm.. I wonder how did it fall on there :-b cool vid.

[kx450fwp]

yeah good stuff

[jaholmes01]

"fell" on the line... yeeeaaaaahhhhh...

[tall32guy]

@jaholmes01 LOL!! Yeah exactly. I believe that like I believe that the world isn't round. LOL

[Twizt3dArc]

@tall32guy You're right, it's spherical.

[tall32guy]

@Twizt3dArc :\ Seems like you have done a good job continuing the "smartass" line of conversation. LOL
