Power Plant in Palmer, Alaska

Wow! This power plant hums really loud. Not sure the voltage level, but sounds like it could be 500 Kilovolt and a whole lot of amps.. Not sure though. Feel free to comment.

69kv??? step down transformer to 13.2kv?? Switches look big but the low side 3 phase recloser is no bigger than 13.2kv

@Kitchen363 Cool, That's pretty loud for a 69kv with a 13.2kv recloser.

A lot of these substations are loud like this. There's nothing to "wow" over. LOL

@tall32guy -Yeah, lol. I love the sound it makes. I get excited over it. LOL.

That is not a power plant, that is a substation.

Ha!, maybe some of that RF energy from HAARP is getting into that substation!

I prefer 50hz sound personally. It was probably a 138Kv to 36 Kv tran, or something similar. There are plenty over here that are just as loud.

@mpowellmpowellmpowel

and it sounds way better than the european 50hz utility!
