Power Surge - Electrical Ground Fault

[25143J]

1:07 to 1:10 electric hum echos and syncs with the guy's car door beep.

[MrBigbmcc]

fire works on Aug 11, 2008

[m7870]

Oh, so it was your fault? Thanks a lot.

[jchambers2586]

that's 7,200 volts 

[BarneySaysHi]

Damn, the hum is strong enough to make my desk vibrate...

[FeCr3]

60Hz sound in full effect.........

[ChuffChuffWoo]

I saw it happen in the UK

[biggdaddy2001]

i like the echo ohh and can i get a liter of cola lol

[OnnomonnomonnO]

1:07 someone has a safety belt unplugged! :P

[Momo5775]

Trees And Powerlines, that's a hate/love relationship.

[DeathShamans]

imagine 20,000 going off

[redneck101157]

have the power line do your tree trimming such a bright spark lol

[110491Banter]

is it loud?

[Dodgeram591]

the sweat pants club lol

[Zeamus634]

Only in America, I have never heard of this happening here in the UK.

[Bevo2455]

Christmas lights from HELL.

[texNoz]

Soviet Russian electric fence.

[cottonmouth1986]

the guy looks like officer farva on supertroopers

[teamsonnybill]

did this happen due to a grounding fault or was there just a fire?

[atvrider7]

O..O i can smell it from here

[signupsigma]

That girl's voice is arousing.

[mikillero]

Put shoes on it will save you??? IS that what I heard???

[coolguyarispejames]

did u call the cops lol

[form109]

The Powerline is Angry at the Trees.....

[ftynmik]

Yo. Электродуга!

[NoPlaceForLoafers]

@ftynmik Fuck yeah!!!

Hang on... ...what???

[videoeer]

Think I would stay out of those woods till things cooled off a bit.

[SappinSentry]

A few years ago... Is this the time where the power was out for a week and most of people's food spoiled in fridges? I also live in Ohio, around Dayton, and we were effected by it. We were in Kentucky, camping though at Lake Cumberland when most of it was going on. We left home without power. Made for an interesting morning trying to get ready to leave.

[11bma]

the only way stop the current flow is by CALLING THE POWER COMPANY N 2 SHUT OF DA GENERATOR DAT IS SUPPLYIN DA TRANSFORMER WHICH IS FEEDIN DIS CONDUCTOR

[sparky3489]

@11bma 4 reelz? LOL

You sir are a complete moron.

[Rick0rz]

@11bma yea man! dat wud do it init... dey shud tell dem to do dat!

[compman3000]

is the flash ridiculously bright or is it some sort of electrical effect on the camera for turning dark? 0:56

[raidex523]

omg dont know why but i love that sound xD

[falaqdad15]

""I got an idea! Let's drop water on it to get rid of the fire!!""

[p1harw66]

Looks like this particular 345KV line was one of those that went down and helped cause the 2003 Blackout. Initially I thought that this was a 138 KV line.

[Henzzman]

@p1harw66 Doesnt look like a 345kV line,those lines all have got much thicker cables and almost all of them have got 2 or 3 pair of cables for each phase for better current distribution.The arc from the line doesnt look big also,so i am guessing it is either 138kV or under that.If it was 345kV the current would be so big,that there would just only be a big bang hitting the tree and the breakers in the nearest substation or power plant would trip.

[motorella]

60Hz sound

[egslerextreme92]

cool =)

[gustaaaaaaaaa]

lixo

[Rick0rz]

its auto tree trimmer, trees get tall powerline burns them down!

[dmuth]

@Rick0rz Man, if only the slapchop guy sold that... "You're gonna love my lightning bolts!"

[rawtorque]

I understand that fines to electric companies for not clearing trees from around lines has gone up, so hopefully this won't happen again.

[dividebyN]

Rofl, 'Lightning was coming out of the large powerlines that cross our property and blowing up some pine trees'....lololol

[oldstumpcutter]

This needs to be shown to idiots & assholes who fight power companies about tree trimming!!!!

[StreiBullet]

1:05

You can hear it echo. Sounds awesome.

[pierrelebatteur]

at 1:05

the arc sound + bip alarm = good tempo

[danschaoticmind]

I remember the blackout. I was working up in st marys ohio when the power went out, came back on momentarily, then blew out again. That was something else...

[enigma800]

$1,000 for this? What an entrepreneur! Way to go :)

[tpvalley]

u sold the video but nobody could watch it as they had no power!lol.

[kerry5101971]

YeeeeeeeHAW! 4 things to respect (as per my Great Uncle John):

1.) Electricity

2.) Fire

3.) The Ocean

4.) Firearms

While this list is of things that we often take for granted,they are things that can kill you quickly& in an awful manner. This video shows that electricity is truly beautiful to behold, but WOOOO! if you were too close, you'd have wound up worse off than that poor pine tree. Awesome vid,glad you got some $ for your bravery (I'd have been too far, far away to catch it). Thanks!

[bamaslamma1003]

7200 volts can jump a long way. Awesome video!

[TomH127]

This line is 345000 volts! Highest voltage in First Energy service area.

[theakashow1]

o my god wat the heck!!! dang im glad hurricane not that bad in Sanford

[DLPBurke]

lightning wasn't coming out. Electric was.

[jerichomyles]

wow....heat does transfer power...oh wait...thermodynamics...damn

[KG84C]

Pretty ladies in cletus ville? Puhr lease!

[KG84C]

Just send the deputy to fix it, they're expendable, Enos, Kew-kew-kew!

Rosco P Coltrane

[SaucyBegger25]

ark my god ;)

[hugestomper]

HUH... Where is the Delorean ?

[crazybeavers155]

omg a forest fire  aaaaaah run aaaah run away lol

[DetroitLove4U]

Any pretty ladies around those parts?

[TomH127]

Have much info on the 2003 blackout - You most likely recorded the fault on the South Canton- Star 345KV line in Medina County

[TomH127]

Fault was in Wayne County

[gpgab971]

And not one person bothered to offer an hot dog on a stick? Damn this party sucks.

[ItalianAvalanche]

a thousand bucks? not bad haha

[garabella815]

wow

[bassboy923]

the black out of '04, or was it '05, anyhow, i think i remeber it

[giovanni2015]

blackout 2003 in northeast area. cleveland.

[klingoncelt]

I remember seeing that on the news. That blackout was a pain.

[VREDFOX]

why cut the trees? the power line can manage it self

[rocklistener256]

I think it is 138kV because there's only 1 conductor per phase.

[cabasse]

so much power going through the lines at that time they were overheating and expanding, therefore becoming much longer than usual (and sagging enough to reach the trees below)

cool video.

[Aesculusglabra13]

This took place in mansfield ohio, which is north central

[p1harw66]

any idea what the voltage is on this line? Is it 138 or 345kv? Sounds like this may be one of the faults on high voltage transmission lines in Northern Ohio that helped trigger the 2003 North American Blackout.

[BlkSerialKilla]

must have been bright there

[Notkeiran]

Cool video
