Question for the SVTP electrical engineers, what the **** uses a 5000 amp fuse? This was on my recommendation as well.
Cities. Trains. Power generation plants, to protect the alternators. Arc furnaces. Incoming power to critical places like major hospitals, radar installations, laboratories, military bases. You'd be surprised at how many are out there.Question for the SVTP electrical engineers, what the **** uses a 5000 amp fuse? This was on my recommendation as well.

Fun electrical fact: according to theory, when a component arcs, voltage drops to zero as current rises to infinity. Current creates heat. That's why the big bang when this fuse lets go. In reality, something always happens to limit the current, like losses to heat and resistance, etc. But for the critical moments of failure, that's the way things are heading: voltage to 0, current to infinity.
Disclaimer: I am not an electrical engineer, either.
Dude certainly has a solid set of danglersOP, thanks for posting this. Awesome demonstration! I was literally having heart palpitations from panic as he was assembling those capacitor banks! I was relieved like crazy when I saw he was using shorting bars up until go-time.

Hopefully non-metallic, though!Dude certainly has a solid set of danglers
Not one but interested. My guess something with a giant electric motor and mobile (crane?). Essentially something you need huge power but cant have honking transformers to play with the voltage. Honestly, usually makes more sense economically to break the system down smaller pieces.
