Machines | Crane electrocution, not even touching powerline

Sound captures the arc and transfer of electricity without even touching the lines

where is it? sirens sound like Germany?

1.21 jigga-watts!!!

It did not go to ground so the circuit has no way of knowing the fault is occurring. Breakers only trip on phase to phase or phase to ground faults and even then they will re-energize 3 times to "clear" the fault. Even though it looks like there is a tremendous amount of current, this is mostly voltage. The problem is the operator did not ground his crane. If he had this would have been one big explosion. (ps--this is the same reason you are safe in your car if a power line falls on it---safe until your tires all melt anyway)

Rumors say that crane is still burning today...
-
Looks and sounds just like Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory.
-
why the heck would you even get that close to a power line. so retarded
-
You don't need to touch a power line to get electrocuted by just being next to it can electrocute you.
-
that was ''shocking''
-
wow..with all that heat being displaced upon the portion of the Crane that is zapping, I'm surprised it didn't fall off like the Twin Towers...I guess the Twin Towers were a once in a lifetime event where science cannot explain it and it all happened on one day..wow..the odds of winning the lottery multiple times in one day...amazing

When you place a crane within 10' of a 75k power-line you get an arc and zap you're dead.
-
That is scary. The sound of electricity is erie and creepy.
-
Like the scene at the end of the Quatermass film
-
1" per 1000 volts. that's the minimum distance you have to keep to reduce the risk of an arc through the atmosphere. these guys who work on live 250kv lines wearing metal mesh suits...that's just crazy.

Jacob's crane

I was expecting the crane to melt and fall like a spaghetti.
-
This powerful electric hum sounds lower pitched like it's phased for 50 hz as French, Spanish or Italian power grids work at.
-
PowerLines are the cranes natural predator.
-
What recorded this
-
that crane will never work again lol
-
high voltage has a high potential to arc... that's why high voltage lines are set so far apart from the other phases
