Crosby residents say City Power official showed them how to restore power by themselves

["D"]

But then they started fiddling to see if they could get some free power. ZAP!!!!

Instead, the bystanders got some free education about the fundamentals of electricity!

So what was the voltage which required the full ppe then ?
I asked you about RSA, is it considered HV ?
Citation needed.

I asked questions. Until you answer, no answer. This is not interrogation for me only.

 

[Howdy]

Discharge means alive.
Otherwise he would be moved to the hospital morgue.

Ever played with those old big screen CRT TVs. Discharge might mean the recipient may not be alive, or barely with a new hair style and a week's worth of headache...



PS: Sometime we have to create humour.

Is 5000 volts classed as high voltage in RSA ?

So what is it considered in the country you're in?

 

[konfab]

1) If City Power knows about illegal connections, then why don't they disconnect them?
2) On what planet is City Power living in that they don't have security at substations. Not only is the stuff inside substations valuable, and critical infrastructure, it is dangerous.
3) Would anyone reading this actually step into a substation and flick a switch if someone claiming to be from the municipality told you to do it?

 

[konfab]

Maybe they need Zulu/Xhosa versions of these stickers on the entrance of the substation.

5000 volt meggar ?
You know it is a brand, not the name of the instrument right ?
Ps you even spelt it wrong.

Lol..these days if we have anything above 1v for a continued amount of time, its considered high voltage...
Also known as "AmaLucky voltage"...

 

[Vrotappel]

Most probably tripping 10 times a day due to all the illegal connections.

I asked first and if you answered me.
I can answer your pointless trivia.
Go ahead expert.

Which country is that ?

Tata ma chance tata mah lights may be on.

You tell me which country you're speaking of...

RSA is the topic.

Not answering you as you are a bad actor. Do you think I couldn't have looked them up in the three days you've been trolling this thread?

 

[porchrat]

1) If City Power knows about illegal connections, then why don't they disconnect them?

because they don't want everything burnt to ashes and they know the police won't do squat to help when the matches come out.

2) On what planet is City Power living in that they don't have security at substations. Not only is the stuff inside substations valuable, and critical infrastructure, it is dangerous.

What sort of security do you propose?

3) Would anyone reading this actually step into a substation and flick a switch if someone claiming to be from the municipality told you to do it?

They'd have to at least double dare me.

We can talk mat after.

Not in my question. Why don't you want to answer?

220 is high voltage as far as I'm aware.

Have definitely seen the HV sign on a lathe and milling machine which run at 380v.

Could have something to do with the phasing though, 2 or 3 phase. I'll actually ask my dad, qualified election with 45 yes experience.

You'd think I would have listened to all his electrical and electronics talk since I was a child wouldn't you lol.

220 volt is between phaze and neutral
380v is between 2 phazes

For South Africa
LV is anything up to 1000V
MV = 1000V to 44kV
HV = 44kV to 220kV
Source: MHSC Electrical regulations - Aspasa

Even those 11kV power lines on Eskom poles is regarded as medium voltage.

North America:
MV = 4kV to 35kV

For Europe:
MV = 6kV to 33kV
