Ground Fault Testing

Drone Ground Fault Testing on a high-voltage power line.

I like how they had the second guy translating into Canadian. Very inclusive ...

[AristidesFigueroa-umsr]

I was there that day. That is one of the transition stations for the Maritime Link. You guys did a good job! I remember you lost one of your drones though.

Epic nitrogen dioxide cloud. Classical synthesis from air nitrogen and oxygen.

That little tingling tells you it's working. :D

Electroboom: Better find my skigloves for this!

[bazrazin]

what happened there, arc from ground to phase.

[O__O-]

How do you trigger this to happen for testing

[RSI]

В 88 году Кирилл Мешков (бабушка его была преподаватель литературы и русского языка) из 6а класса 89 школы г. Кемерово затестил трамвайные провода таки же образом, умер от 80% ожогов тела, хоронили всей школой. А так да, мы кидали проволоку на линию 330 киловольт, такой же красивый коричневый дым.
Может кто и вспомнит толстяка Кирю, я почти забыл бы его, если бы не увидел это видео.

Maybe they're testing the functioning of relays or circuit breakers

[robert]

Why are there only two HV lines on the circuit being tested? In the background I see a "normal" 3 phase circuit. Is this a HV DC inter-grid tie system?
Do you know what the live voltage and the fault current are?
In Russia kids do this with a rope and a wire, with no PPE, knowledge of step potential, safety or common sense.
Nice video.

Same sound as if they had knocked off a bee hive by shooting it

[GM]

Wrap some copper wire around a ball bearing and then chuck it at the railway power line.

I know I would.

[USERLT]

Normally a power line has 3 or 6 or maybe even 9 wires on a “PYLON” but my question is that why do this power line only have 2

[Anurag_Saxena]

I think it's kind of short circuit test of an MCB... Here maybe they are testing the proper functioning of thegrid MCB.

- FIVE!
- five?
- FOUR!
- four?
- THREE!
- three?
- TWO!
- two?
- ONE!
- one?

[BazzarLazar]

What would Benjamin Franklin do to perform this kind of test ?

[am]

There was nothing going from the ground to the wire... ?

[SoupyOatmeal]

It would make a lot more sense if you told us what the fukk was going on.

[cursedone]

So if you walked underneath that with a fault like that, you could be electrocuted
