[@Engineer_Anton]

I know something about electrcity Im currently building a city model with carboard and other materials and glue! I made my first model using chopsticks long ones with wires on it to simulate powerlines! I ran 12v through it but with no insulation I also melted and bended some plastic to make mini insulators like the one in real life! Then I connected a 12v fan powered by a battery and it worked and yes I sperated the wires as best as I could To not short the neutral and the hot wires! And when I applied power it actually worked! I plan on expanding it but I might have to cover it in polyurethane for better insulation but since real life powrerlines don’t any because of the high amperage and voltage I don’t think so! Also for streetlights I decided to pick those diode lights 10 pcs the mini ones and im currently building 1 one a few minutes ago I plan adding some on the power lines of course lower! But it’s a bit harder because I could have done that way early im the first start! 😂 anyways that’s all!

It’s interesting that some “modern” countries still have power lines above ground.

[@markstoudt7769]

I've been saying this for years

[@andrewpitcher7140]

There are many reasons for overhead wires as opposed to underground wires. #1 is obviously cost, as trenching or drilling to bury wires is much more expensive than hanging then on poles or from transmission towers. The difference between the US and European countries, where lines are typically buried, is one of population density. It takes many more miles of line to serve the same number of people in the US than it does in most of Europe. The cost to underground can easily be triple that of overhead and much more in some instances. That makes undergrounding US lines infeasible. (As an example, in the 90's and 00's San Francisco spent ten years moving just 46 miles of line underground, at a cost of nearly $4 million/mile. California has hundreds of thousands of miles of line.) #2 is serviceability. Even underground wires are still vulnerable to flooding and lightning strikes. The area above them must still be kept open for maintenance, but also to prevent tree roots from damaging them. Repairing underground wires is much more time consuming and expensive because you have to dig them up. Requiring digging for routine maintenance and checks means that maintaining those underground installations is also more costly. #3 is that even underground cables present safety risks. Just as cranes or people can hit overhead lines, excavators and people digging can hit buried cables. Even marked utilities are not always correctly marked, which is a major reason gas lines are frequently struck, so having the lines marked is still no guarantee of safety. For their dramatically higher cost, underground lines are only moderately safer. #4 is that the dissipation of heat generated by current in the wire is much easier in the open air than underground. That heat increases wire resistance, which means more energy must be used to "push" electricity through the line and stains the entire grid. This is one of the drivers of cost in underground lines, as most transmission lines are in fluid (oil) or special gas filled pipes or encased in polyethylene (made from petroleum) or some other flexible grounding material that allows for heat dissipation. While underground lines have many benefits, like all things they are a tradeoff and have their own drawbacks. They are VERY expensive, and the benefits they provide are deemed not worth the added cost in many instances.

[@DennisWardsTrakShak]

@@andrewpitcher7140 Ok, but in the larger part of the rest of the civl world our power lines are all underground and it seems to work just fine.

[@andrewpitcher7140]

@@DennisWardsTrakShak Again, it's a question of population density and cost. Not all parts of the world are the same, so what works and is cost effective in one place may not work or be cost effective somewhere else. There's no technical reason why lines couldn't be buried in the US (in some places they are), but the cost of those lines per person they serve makes the idea cost prohibitive across much of the country. The benefits simply don't outweigh the cost here like they do in other locations.

[@BenjaminEsposti]

I agree. Those lines seem quite close to each other. I don't know why there are so many either! I mean, really! (The wind probably causes the lines to "gallop", and then when it started shorting out and arcing, the short-circuit current created a magnetic field which caused the lines to gallop even more.)

[@thomasmyers9128]

The arcing started because the lines were "galloping" (movement from wind causing the lines to move at their physical resonate frequency, which increases the amount of movement), causing them to touch and strike the arcs. That's why you'll often see devices that look like a pair of metal cucumbers tied to each wire, those are weights to help stop the galloping from happening.

[@tannerbean3801]

I guess 34kV lines aren't as critical to prevent arcing as higher voltage transmission lines... but I still would have assumed the utility would have implemented enough spacing to prevent arcing. In a university physics course, one of our exam problems was to calculate minimum high voltage transmission phase spacing per the power pole spacing, to prevent two phases from ever breaking down/arcing, in the worst case scenario, with the lowest breakdown voltage per temp (like 120F iirc) and the hottest conditions, taking thermal expansion of the wires into account. It is feasible to prevent this, even if the lines are pulled directly toward each other by wind or whatever...

[@nicholaascywink2228]

You should try to slow motion the double arc and comare them in similarity, if the look exactly the same or not. I think that would be quite an interesting find
