Now make it out of tungsten, put it in an inert atmosphere, electrically heat it, and sell it as a curio.

Having exposed powerlines in innercities and suburbs sounds like a REALLY bad idea. In the UK they're almost always underground.

It's actually better, from every respect except aesthetic, to have them above ground. More thermal headroom, lower cost of maintenance, (ironically) better resistance to lightning, less groundwater I&I, and more parking opportunities for highly-strung sports cars driven by people with no business driving highly-strung sports cars.

Three-Phase posted:I need to test on a 500kVA transformer secondary at 600V. Arc flash level is very very high so I am going to be taking significant additional precautions. Arc Flash stuff is no drat joke! I used to film Industrial and Mining Corporate videos, ranging from puff-piece 'synergy' style, OSHA/Work Procedure and Site Familiarisation. The Arc Flash one was a hoot to film as we had to simulate what happens when some poor sap gets hit. A lot of 'don't do what Donny Dont does' type stuff. I was getting a shot for the back end of a panel room to get the 'actor' (some poor fucker who works at the site who doesn't look busy) and they somehow tripped all the breakers in the room on me. Scared the gently caress out of me! I've posted before in response to the 'poo poo poo poo' dragline boom video posted a few pages ago - I was there that day behind that camera operator. There's a whole lot of stuff I've seen during that 5 or so year period full of our version of OSHA violations. A lot of jobs consisted of filming monthly at big contruction projects to show the fatcats how things are progressing. Man didn't people scurry away when they saw us coming along - anything not up to code was reported on the spot, had to be fixed then and there or the crew and in some cases - the contractor was banned. A funny one was during a wide pan of an area I spot movement in the middle of a tailings pond of a coal mine. After I get the shot I realise the movement in the background is some fucker standing on the far side in a pair of budgie smugglers, a snorkel and casting a fishing line. A rumour I heard while scouting a coal port was a story of a monkey that a ship captain owned getting free, jumping onto a shiploader and running up the conveyor to the shore and up into one of the towers where some poor bastard was working alone at night and jumped on his back scaring the poo poo out of him (I want to believe in this story so much). I really should catch up with some of our old crew if only to remember more things we encountered and if any footage in our personal archives could be dug up.

What about the part where the above ground lines fall over in a light breeze? You don't have to worry (mostly) about power outages with buried power lines, that strikes me as better.

I came out to find a wire hanging low from the telephone poles, like 2 feet off the ground. Perfect for clotheslining someone if they tried driving through. Called the power company, they were out within 45 minutes. They called me to say there was nothing to do because it was a phone company problem. Called the phone company, they showed up the next day. They called in the power company to bring in a bucket truck to get it out of the way.

I have had a problem with a hot falling on the neutral once and slowly destroying appliances all over the house, but that was more just line termination fail than overhead line fail.

Every time there's wind in my city there's power outages due to our stupid above-ground power lines. It also helps that we're like #2 in the world for street-trees and most of those street trees are huge old sickly oaks and poo poo that are legally protected so they just prune holes through the canopy for the lines to run.

I dunno I live in chicago, we get horrible rain, horrible snow and strong winds, never have power problems, almost seems like sometimes when you install poo poo infrastructure you get poo poo results. Not saying Chicago's infra is amazing or anything, but it stands up to wind/snow/rain.

PittTheElder posted:I love that that's easier than putting the wires in a big pipe. In urban centres the wires go underground but in the grand scale, over millions of kilometers of rural powerlines that would be totally impractical. Hence rural areas suffer power outs all the time during storms and blizzards while I have never personally experienced a power out in a city. Sure the cables can get cut by diggers, but it seldom affects many households and will be fixed briefly. In the rural areas a big storm can cut power from thousands of households and fixing the problem takes time but the lowly peasant accepts his lot.
