Agreed that personal safety and that of those around you is or should be a number one priority. I am sure that when folks like Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla were on the leading edge of power development they had concerns about safety. Menlo Park was basically a cobbed together garage. Not...

Now I see why you want to know how utilities measure such high voltages. A couple of observations---he has hooked up the utility transformers backwards. he is loading a small field excitation current at 120 volts ( although he never really says)in the first utility transformer with his 4 hp...

It might be helpful to note that at those kind of voltages, on a utility system, it is imperative to think about how many amps may be flowing or are capable of flowing in the line you are measuring. Even the ground wire running down the side of a pole have been known to kill people and it is...

once you get above a couple hundred volts or even 20 amps you need to use specific sized C.T.'s and P.T.'s. They make a style that has spring loaded jaws that you clamp around the wire you are trying to measure volts or amps on. That being said you need a number of other safety devices to...
