Thank you. This was really fascinating even though most of it was very technical above me. God bless

Absolutely awesome! Raw power! Thank you for posting this! Secondary windings operate at 132kV. This gives a new definition to "the low side."

This is almost as satisfying as being on the Engineering deck of the Enterprise D and watching that warp core do it's thing!

I get nervous just watching from my easy-chair ; even with safety glasses.

Thank you

In the 500 kV substation, we see voltage transformers that reduce voltage to usable levels, wave trappers for filtering unwanted frequencies, breakers to isolate system sections, current transformers for monitoring, and reactors for voltage stabilization. Additionally, single-phase transformers and surge arresters protect against voltage spikes.

Lol broken Hill is really broken now. The first power generator died last November & running on emergency generator since which has now died. Lol who was pocketing the money instead of getting the first generator fixed? Aus Gov you really are a bunch of corrupt clowns

OUR IS 320-500MVA FOR 400/220/132KV LINE । 160 MVA FOR 220/132/33KV CLASS AND 50MVA FOR 132/33/11KV CLASS AND 10MVA FOR 33/11/.22 KV CLASS.

Aussi policy for gas turbines that used natural gas from pipelines was to build them where overhead passed pipelines with remote starting and control. This was used for rapid load uptake to counter PV and wind dropout.

The Aussi salute, brushing off the flies. Could be up to 40 Deg C out there. Those were sulfur crested cockatoos. Another bird, the Galah is a switch yard menace, two of them will land on different wires and lean towards each other, a flash, some feathers and two thumps as they hit the ground. One place I worked at a goanna (big lizard) had worked out that the thumps meant cooked lunch which was eaten on the spot.

Squirrels are saving nuts somewhere inside that place... mostly 3/4 and 1/2 inch

Boring compared to the proper sparky ones.

Excellent video cobber, i meant to say in an earlier comment, i think 1 set of lines end up at Dederang in Victoria, hopefully you can make some video's of Tumut 2 pondage, and the Tumut1&2 power stations, as we Taxpayers are not allwed in any more 😒

Hi Bear. I know I'm way behind time-wise, but I've only just seen this video for the first time. With regards to the different exposures in the adjoining photos, you can see that on the lighter exposed photo, there is a lot of woodland. Maybe a little mistake, but you may have left your camera on "Auto Exposure", and in doing so, the camera saw a lot of "darker image", so adjusted the exposure to compensate. What you need to do, is to take one shot, note the camera settings for that shot and then set the camera to "Manual Exposure" to those settings, resulting in even exposures throughout. Brilliant result though. Bob, way over in Mid Wales, UK...

You know that you're dealing with some dangerous things when 'blast walls' are needed 😱

Was looking for info on this subject and found your video! I might have missed it , and it's not in the video description, but which DCC decoder did you use please?

I always herd buchholz detected Acetylene due to internal fault

Very cool and very terrifying!!!

Thank you sir

Not gonna lie, I peed a little when that 300Kv turned on.

Creeps me right out.

What would one of those babies cost?

J'espère que ce n'est pas cher car la qualité ne semble pas au rendez vous...

How loud is the breaker operation? Does the manufacturer tell you to stand back a prescribed distance when operating?

A job for the exact, methodical, pedantic. Those who aren't, will be weeded out rather quickly.

Why doesn't used of GIS for substations??? The GIS is safety of other weather, no electric arcing, no rusty of metal switch system, low time frequency of maintenance, and anti-lightning strikes on the ground. Many countries was switch from AIS to GIS with little space to build it.

The Substation with highest voltage is 765kV AC not 500kV AC

The AIS to GIS migration for high-efficiency of switchgear systems

This beast if would have a 220Volt secondary line could give 1.7 billions amps

Beautiful, this is an absolutly beast, the big transformers of electric arc furnaces are about 150Mwats, and you can see with your own eyes how much power is this when melts the steel, and this transformer has triple of power. Amazing.

Were you walking on top of that transformer without the primary and secondary cables grounded out? If so, you wild.

Q? They!?

Oh really been awhile brain

nice footage especially of the driver operating the controls.

Hope my old eyes did not see a person using a flimsy air switch to turn medium voltage power off to 3,000 KVA transformer. We were taught 40 years ago to NEVER use ANY air switch to turn power off due to blades that could burnt up. Instead we always used the medium voltage switchgear to turn power on or off. After power was off then & only then would we operate the air switch. Used a Kirk key system to feed the service equipment at other end of room.

I recently got to tour a transmission substation and it’s absolutely mind blowing to think about the energy flowing through a facility like that

The mechanism is Siemens but Alstom is written on the label.

That's noise is russia in the lines

Well that's an Aussie for you. That's all you need.

I see you are still stuck with that blasted dot instead of a real pointer. That seems like a deal breaker. The RealVNC vendor never gave me a satisfactory answer on how to fix it so I switched to TightVNC which works much better.

Impressive video! I work as an energy engineer

*THIS SNORING IS WARNING YOU: GET AWAY! DANGER OF DEATH.*

Are you sure you meant air cooled instead of air cored? I've certainly never heard of an air core 50Hz tranny

I love listening to transformers hum one of my favorite sounds next to a big diesel engien

Nice ankel

oh screw the neighbors
