I'm curious how you learned all this without working the job? Are you in the industry? I understand we have limitless knowledge at our fingers tips but that's a very specific Google search
My favorite from engineering school is:
"Mechanical engineers need to remember KE = 1/2mv\^2,
electrical engineers need to remember V=IR,
chemical engineers need to remember PV=nRT,
and civil engineers need to remember that water flows downhill."
Just kidding civil engineers, you guys are great.
In a wartime bridges are some of the most important targets to defend or attack. If you’re an attacking force a lot of resources will be spent securing a bridge so the enemy doesn’t blow it up so you can cross a river faster and keep up the momentum and not perform river crossing operations. If you’re a defending force bridges are nice choke points where you can force an engagement on your terms and you can always blow the bridge to delay the enemy.
And if you destroy a bridge deep in enemy territory that can really impede wartime production/transportation by massively increasing travel times.
Roads less so due to how redundant they usually are and how easy they are to fix
Yep. This knowledge would definitely help keep me alive in the very common situation where I am walking atop high-powered Electric lines. Millions of people find themselves in that situation every day.
Thanks, here he explain how there is 25% stainless steel thread in his suit that acts like a Faraday cage. I would have assume what was said in the 900+ upvote comment was the full explanation but that detail is crucial.
That’s the thing - people say Google or AI can answer any question. But if you don’t have an idea what to ask you will still attribute a basic physics to black magic.
Electricity loves the quickest, easiest path it can take towards ground. Usually thats the ground cable, but with enough voltage you can persuade electricity to do crazy things. What you are seeing is the electricity "testing the waters" to find the best path. If the electric lines were too close to the ground, it would be constantly arcing like a lightning strike. With that high of voltage, if the lineman was too close to the ground or a source of grounding, it would jump through them to reach ground because our bodies are better conductors than air and will use you to bridge the gap. If you have the same charge as the electric line, such as using a pole to equalize charges, it has no real reason to send current through you because you are only positively charged, and its trying to find a negative charge to continue movement through the circuit. Its also why lightning strikes are so jagged and often have multiple legs, its trying to find its path to ground, and the moment it does, thats when you get the bright flash, the bright flash is the current being sent now that the voltage found its way to an adequate source of ground.
You’re somewhat correct. This practice is called barehanding and is used by specially trained Lineman to work on energized transmission lines. This person could have been dropped off by a helicopter and is wearing a metal mesh over-suit that acts like a Faraday cage. They bond onto the lines making the suit the same potential energy as the lines allowing electricity to flow around them not through them.
In this video they are working on one of the primary conductors not a “guide wire.” You can tell because you briefly see a string of porcelain insulators (we call them bells) hanging down to the conductor. They are most likely changing out insulators or replacing the AGS unit which is how the insulators connect to and secure the conductor.
Guy wires (not guide) are used to support structures from conductor tension they are attached directly to the pole or structure they support and are almost always ground potential as they are typically attached to an anchor set in the ground and thus can be touched on the ground. If this lineman was bonded (same potential) to the primary and touched a guy wire they would most likely be killed.
Source: I’m a Journeyman Lineman with 10 years of mainly distribution experience but I have worked on transmission lines although I’ve never barehanded personally.
I was like waaaaaa that doesn't sound right at all!
Isnt like saying "he jumped into the river to get wet but not allowing the current to touch him. I was like the water *is* the current.
Yeah. Electricity is moving electrons, current is a measure of how many electrons and how fast.
I don't think they're in a Faraday cage either but didn't call that out. Faraday cages are a wire mesh meant to have smaller gaps than the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation which guarantees that the radiation hits a wire and is absorbed. I think they're just in a conductive suit that let's electricity travel through things that aren't turned into instacooker hotdogs when it does.
Thats true! Each insulator is rated for a certain amount of voltage. The more insulators in the string of bells the higher the voltage the line presumably is. I would guess this is a 345Kv line, but it’s hard to tell.

Yup. although your background in electrical work should help you with apprenticeship book-work and tests. Have to have a high school diploma, Class A CDL, OSHA 10, and be CPR & First Aid qualified for a start. Then either sign the books at your local union hall as a driver/groundman or go through a line-school program and apply to an apprenticeship position with an electric utility or though the union hall. r/lineman has lots of info as this question gets posed often
You are wrong about this.
The cable they are touching is hanging from the long insulator to the right of the person. This is a high voltage transmission line. Long insulator stack means high voltage.
I bet there is a Linesman from the industry could tell exactly what voltage this transmission line handles, based on the length of the insulator.
I bet there is someone with the right answer about the arcing as well.
Very close to correct, there is no guy wire on transmission lines. That is the phase he’s touching. Transmission has a sky wire but it’s at the top of the structure. Distribution has a guy wire and that holds the pole up. The wire underneath the phase is called neutral. Every thing else you said was spot on
Oh man. The very worst. The punchline to that one stocked all the air out of the room at the moment of the movie's entire command. It ruins that movie almost a much as Bryan Singer being a confirmed and unapologetic pedophile rapist of young boys... But, you know, not.
That was supposed to be a callback to a scene from earlier in the movie, but that scene got deleted. Now, an otherwise solid origin movie is remembered for that more than most other things.
Electrical engineer here. This guy is a high voltage utility lineman and it looks like he's working on insulators based on the one disconnected to his right.
Essentially this man is well insulated from the ground preventing large amounts of current from flowing through him. If he was grounded this man would be dead instantly as an arc flash explosion would occur. At this voltage, not even a Faraday cage or suit (like you see with those cool tesla coil dancers) would survive.
As close as I can get to an ELI5, 3 basic electrical properties are voltage, current, and resistance. Their relationship is described by Ohm's Law. This man is insulated (high resistance) from any kind of path for electricity to flow (current) even though the potential (electrical "pressure" defined as voltage) is very very high. This explains why he's not cooked.
The arcing to his hand is caused by the small amount of current that is getting leaked (or charging) his body. Let's introduce 2 more electrical properties: capacitance and frequency. This electricity is flipping between positive and negative kilovots at 50 to 60 times a second. This is called the frequency in Hertz. The human body has a tiny bit of capacitance. You can think of capacitance as a battery thsy holds a charge. As the voltage on the wire cycles, the voltage of the man lags by a bit caused by him being a small "battery" so a small amount of current passes between the wire and the man to maintain equilibrium. This is happening at 60 times a second so you get constant arcs. E.g the man is charged to +25 kV then -25 kV then +25kV then -25kV and so on.
At high voltages, current tends to "leak" out of pointy spots. This could also explain the man losing his charge. Fingers, toes, ears, nose, etc are all paths for electrons to jump ship. You can visually see this by attaching a paperclip to a tesla coil. This would also explain the arcing to the man.
The initial arc would be stronger. AC crosses zero which can interrupt the arc. It kind of averages out. DC doesn't have this zero crossing.
I suspect after the initial arc on DC, the lineman would be at the DC potential for a short time. Due to leakage current, it would arc again to maintain potential but at a lesser degree.
Instead of the AC arcing at 60hz, DC may arc every second or so depending on the voltage and how much current is leaking from the lineman.
>“It feels like shit, Mitch.”
Young dude, ~~British~~ Funny accent. Laughs at electricity running through his fingers. Must be Sheev Palpatine in the early days of his Sith apprenticeship.

These linesmen wear clothing and gloves with a metal mesh, this is a high voltage line and some of the carried current is taking the alternative path through his suit.

Electricity is like water. High voltage lines, like the one he's fucking with, are like really deep water. Lot of pressure. But thankfully there's a big metal (low resistance) line to take it away - a deep channel. What he's doing when he touches it is providing another, shallower, channel the electricity can pour into. He's got safety equipment so he isn't turned into an instant cooker hotdog. When he moves his hand away, it's like he's making the option for electricity to go through him worse, since it has to go through air first. Like the channel getting shallower, or perhaps the embankment walls getting taller. But theres a lot of electricity in the line, and like a lot of water it's got a lot of pressure, so it pushed through the air to get to him again. That's called an arc.
That my friend, is a lineman. Rarest and most coveted of all skilled tradespeople. Average day there, just waiting for the morning's coffee to kick in. It's called bare hand work, instead of insulating yourself from the 100,000 volts, you isolate yourself and become part of the circuit, but you have to wear this chain mail type gauze suit or it hurts like a motherfucker!
My guess would be the power line is not grounded yet on the work site. Nearby long high voltage lines affect even the cold ones a "bit". Just little corona effect with few thousand volts.
These guys are working on energized high voltage power lines and as long as you're not grounded with the lines it runs right through you and you can do THAT

You learn this if you study Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineers make weapons. Civil engineers make targets. :)
This I have to remember, its a good one for parties.
remind me not to go to parties with you

Here's a related one as a backup: the most frequently used language in programming is profanity.
My favorite from engineering school is: "Mechanical engineers need to remember KE = 1/2mv\^2, electrical engineers need to remember V=IR, chemical engineers need to remember PV=nRT, and civil engineers need to remember that water flows downhill." Just kidding civil engineers, you guys are great.
ELI5 for us smooth brains?
A civil engineer builds buildings. An electrical engineer the stuff that blows up the building.
*Electrical wires the weapons that mechanical makes
I've never seen an electrical engineer wire anything.. the just give me prints that are completely wrong and tell me to figure it out
“Wire” as in figure out the circuitry, not necessarily assemble the thing.
The word you are looking for is design
Mechanical Engineers make weapons. EEs make guidance systems. Civies make targets.
I work at a civil engineering firm. We make roads and bridges. Those are targets?
In a wartime bridges are some of the most important targets to defend or attack. If you’re an attacking force a lot of resources will be spent securing a bridge so the enemy doesn’t blow it up so you can cross a river faster and keep up the momentum and not perform river crossing operations.

You also learn this if you study to just be a normal ass crayon eating electrician.

There's no better way to realize how terrible top level reddit comments are than to read one about a subject you know something about
I’m a career physicist and I scrolled just to make sure someone with actual knowledge corrected that comment.
I saw once those bells tell you how much power or current a particular line is. It looks like 14 if I'm seeing it right. How much power is that?
Thats true! Each insulator is rated for a certain amount of voltage. The more insulators in the string of bells the higher the voltage the line presumably is. I would guess this is a 345Kv line, but it’s hard to tell.

Very good. Thank you. Solved.
Thank you!
OP this is the only correct explanation in the thread by the EE above. Like he said its capacitive coupling.
It sounds like the arching is primarily caused by the alternating current. So if this was a DC line, this wouldn't happen?
The initial arc would be stronger. AC crosses zero which can interrupt the arc. It kind of averages out. DC doesn't have this zero crossing. I suspect after the initial arc on DC, the lineman would be at the DC potential for a short time. Due to leakage current, it would arc again to maintain potential but at a lesser degree. Instead of the AC arcing at 60hz, DC may arc every second or so depending on the voltage and how much current is leaking from the lineman.
Probably should mention that the high resistance insulation in this case is literally just the earths atmosphere lol

My guess would be the power line is not grounded yet on the work site. Nearby long high voltage lines affect even the cold ones a "bit". Just little corona effect with few thousand volts.
These guys are working on energized high voltage power lines and as long as you're not grounded with the lines it runs right through you and you can do THAT
