Every day I remind myself that I'm wearing fire resistant clothes for a reason.

Imagine throwing a firecracker behind him fir shits and giggles, just as he was entering the danger zone. 😂😂

It would be really great if there had been some narration or captioning or perhaps a pinned comment to explain exactly what this person was doing. Was he switching something on or off? Connecting or disconnecting? What was the thing he removed from the cabinet? More questions than answers.

Take the polyester clothing underneath off or it will become your new skin

And why do we have these thing? We have wars to fight for those guys to make money off of, why do we have to deal w/ such dangerous voltages. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS it's cheaper and they make more money if they don't have to work with it along the way to the final destination. Human Life Means Nothing To These Companies. $$$$ Talks and everything else walks.

Lepas tutup bekalan vcb ni tunggu beberapa minit genset bagi supply ke encik?

Why does he have to go near the breaker? Can't they just use a long isolated stick or something similar?

I am a retired firefighter and I give these guys even a much higher respect than I do fighting fires!!!

Thanks alGorithm as i am an eletric engineer ahahha

someone explain... where was the danger point? at what timeline? i didn't get it

Wow

luckily for him there is no LiveLeak watermark in this video xD

Reminds me of when I worked at a Vacuum tube - induction equipment plant. We would place worn out tubes in the Pot sta. and eun up the DCV. The door had an auto ground switch and you would hear a nerve rattling bang every time it was opened. Still, no one ever reached in there to get the tube out without first checking it with a 4' grd stick just incase it wasn't fully discharged. They were crancked uo to just 10 - 15Kv DC. The rebuilt would bw testes to 50Kv DC or the rated "Snap"

I have no idea what he’s doing or why this is so dangerous! Obviously high voltage ⚡️ but can someone with knowledge explain pls?

Some sort of off-brand Teletubby carrying out maintenance on the tubby custard machinery?

I didn't know exactly what was going on but I knew it was some serious business going on.

I'm diy guy , the red rod is checking voltage and I saw he rechecked it was working after using it with a known working source. I even do that nowadays with mains and 96v DC battery banks. Cool.

I hope he qualifies for this job and is not a quota.

Я надеялась, что чувака током стукнет!

Well I would hardly call that switching, in my day switching was not removing the circuit breaker but opening and closing it. I would think he removed it for maintenance.

Wha dis?

Grounding out the bus bars WEARING FLASH GLOVES. Needs to wear rubber electrical insulating gloves for that task!!!

I have no idea what he is doing or why he is doing it? Why the need for a suit?

Did we need 3 minutes of watching this guy put his suit on?

1960's electrical box, what could go wrong ?

Any information for somebody who has literally 0 idea what is happening but is insanely intrigued by it?

🥴🥱😴

Why don't I see feminists in the comment section chanting equal pay.

🐐

BROS GOING IN HOT? WTF

Remind me of a time i had to install two sprinkler lines in an energized room. I don't know what the fancy, loud units were that seemed to be encased in Faraday cages are called, but they channeled electricity through a 31 floor office building. I did my best to be cautious, had a friendly firefighter who stationed himself out side the room(he was on fire watch duty because of the sprinklers being shutdown) For my own peace of mind, i had a threaded union out side of the room for each line. I did not complete the unions until all of my work inside the room was completed. Yeah, rooms like that tend to be intimidating.

To all of you who perform this extraordinary dangerous work, thank you for your service!

I just lost 7 minutes and 33 seconds of my life.

Total fail. No check sucerfeully switch on ground conntacts.

and here in Europe were just wondering why tf would you ever do that

very professionally done.

Second guy was no PPE on, within the ARC flash zone. Third guy has no PPE on. Where’s this guys #2 Shepards hook should have been on hand at least or around the guy. Serious sh**

? ? You put a Sh_t load of Orange clothes on just to flip a switch ? ?

No matter how well you know electricity, never shake hands with him... Those double oscillating pozitronic changeover relay switches sure can bite if you make a misrake.

I noted no ear protection, ear damage from electrical explosions should always be considered in 'risk study' and switching PPE

We need more Women in this industry doing this type of work, Oh wait ! they only want to take over the board rooms of big companies !

here in south africa our people needs people like you with that kind of knowledgement to work with Eskom

著得咁誇張就唔好做啦😅

I left school in 1960 and started as an apprentice in the electrical utility business. I've seen the aftermath of arc flash on people and equipment. I moved on to other employment on the 1980s. It's good to see that the ever present danger of arc flash is now being taken seriously.

The suit wont save you

6 seconds too long for the emergency light to come online ^^

Это экзамен ?

I like the fact that switch gear is simple to operate. After VCB was switched off/open, the racking out was made easily and withdrawal was simple. After the cable was proved dead, the earthing mechanism was then closed in the earthing position. Great design, no earth trunk required.

of course it had to happen One guy wearing full protective gear worth thousands to prevent electrocution... and two guys in T-shirts

Guy number 2 was safer, he had his covid mask forcefield
