    great video. i would love to do line work someday. i always knew what insulator, transformers, and cutouts were but i never had a complete understanding of lightning arresters.now i do. cool

    I was always intrigued by why there are all those odd contraptions on electric utility poles. This explains it all and breaks down the concepts. I already was familiar with step down transformers and grounders but all the other equipment was a mystery to me.

    In case of a double steel tubular pole mounted 3 phase distribution transformer is it important to provide an insulation/insulator between LA and metal channel on which LA is installed and why?

  • @michaelmicky9690
    @michaelmicky9690 Před 7 lety

    Interesting way of diverting the charge to ground, many pathways from top to bottom of the insulator.

    OK dear it's very usefull to learing. thank you for your Wonderful explanation.....what is my doublt is in ship we called surge suppersser we using in high voltage generator...do you have any idea about where it locate in generator Excatly and how we identify weither it is good or faulty..

  • @user-zq4ph9mv6s
    @user-zq4ph9mv6s Před 7 lety

    thanks a lot.. i am elect. engineer and in fact we do not utilize surge arresters except for 132-KV power line...
    i do not work for power company but i think due to non lightning area we live in, we never use SAs in less than 132000 volts...
    is that correct?

  • @CashewBestofNuts
    @CashewBestofNuts Před rokem

    Can high dog with no lightning cause a lightning arrestor to cut power? Guy on the ground said guy on the pole was fixing the arrestor at 3am when I got home. After listening to this, and what I could see through the fog in the dark, I dont think this would be an issue to come fix three hours into new years day unless the fuse blew, or the transformer was picking up extra charge from the arrestor malfunctioning?
    Maybe I'm thinking this wrong, but foggy high humidity conditions could cause static discharge that might warrant this?
    Would love any help from someone that knows this trade as I am below a layman.

    Wow this the 1st time in my 35yrs just learned that those thing on the electrical post are arrester tho small but theyre functions are so big..now my question is can we put this arrester in our open field like school ground because we have already casualties of school children killed by lightning when they were caught up taking shelter on the shade trees when rain and thunder starts they had no time to run to our school building.

  • @taytay1336
    @taytay1336 Před 2 lety

    Also two lightning arrestors within a second becomes super hot when operating for that millisecond and if any cracks or erosion was to form outside the insulation it will explode aka a bad lightning arrestor

    What's the difference betwerrn an arrester and an insulator, arent they the same thing?

    • @jjwoodworth
      @jjwoodworth  Před 7 lety +4

      Greetings Roland, An insulator is always an insulator. An Arrester is like an insulator until a surge comes along and then it turns into a conductor. It insulates most of the time. I like to call an arrester a smart insulator but niether the arrester or insulator manufacturers would like that.

      If the transformer is exposed to surges, then put the arrester close to the transformer on the side of exposure.

      Thermal imaging is the best way to tell if an arrester is not failing. If it is not failing it is working. See www.arresterworks.com/arresterfacts/pdf_files/infrared_thermometer_as_arrester_tester.pdf
