By the big, fat arcs, I'd say that switch was interrupting quite a bit of amperage.

@Get1337 Eh, what? Hold one of those power line while you're grounded, and there'll be nothing left of you...

You know that scene in Harry Potter where Voldemort gets angry and blows up some power lines?

N50.02859, W114.92555.

I think somebody did not open the breaker before the disconnect.
Fortunately the arc self extinguished.

@bonecrime I think the electricity is so strong that if anyone were to be in between not touching the ends there would be a channel connection straight through the air?

That was cool he heh he

@joholj1204 You see some air-switches opening under load, which means it still has quite a lot of current going through it. These switches are not designed to open like this (current is cut by another type of switch: the switches in the video are mainly there to give a safe air-insulation between live wires and the part people have to work on.

@Kukulcan88 No, if everything went alright, these sparks would not occur: the current itself is mostly cut by switch-gear that is designed to cut the current in a normal way, without arcing: if those switches fail, you get the arcs seen here: the switches in this video are mainly there to get a safe air-insulation between live wires and the part personnel has to work on.

100 Tons of Explosives GONE WRONG!by nelandquinten299,363 views
These 138kv disconnects switches have Joslin current interrupters on them you can see them the grey tubes on the contact point , they didn't work properly that was the issue . We were breaking parallel from two sources and when we were breaking it ,the load transfer caused an arc and it didn't extinguish itself the line tripped on over current unbalance .
