HV testing is taking things a notch higher because of Higher transmission levels.xsystemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316803775203338924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792522150583038579.post-24172177512246994452010-12-15T16:00:27.947-05:002010-12-15T16:00:27.947-05:00Compare this to the infrastructure and two extra-h...Compare this to the infrastructure and two extra-high-voltage testing labs that Russia built outside Moscow and Novosibirsk, for their 1.2MV trans-siberian hydroelectric power transmission line.<br /><br />The rusting hulks of resonant cascade transformers, and two immense impulse (Marx) generators - one at each site - can still be seen from Google Earth and on various web sites.<br /><br />So no, this isn't a hoax. It just isn't practical for most every day transmission lines.<br /><br />Transmission lines operating above 1.5MV will probably remain impractical due to the formation of (spark) leaders from the lines leading to phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground faults.Railgaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209269236242886628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792522150583038579.post-7914907628605656082010-05-12T10:11:29.018-04:002010-05-12T10:11:29.018-04:00Hmmm mr anon, I'm not so sure its a hoax, its ...Hmmm mr anon, I'm not so sure its a hoax, its on the siemens domain too.<br /><br />Nearly a million volts though, I'll bet that'd jump a mile.Arc Flash Guyhttp://clydesdale.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792522150583038579.post-24521766678510426922008-11-25T09:40:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:40:00.000-05:00There is a new world wide web emerging right befor...There is a new world wide web emerging right before our eyes.<BR/><BR/>It is a global energy network and, like the internet, it will change our culture, society and how we do business. More importantly, it will alter how we use, transform and exchange energy.<BR/><BR/>Enough solar energy falls on the surface of the earth every 40 minutes to meet 100 percent of the entire world's energy needs for a full year.<BR/><BR/>There is no energy supply problem, there is an energy distribution problem -- and the emerging solution is a new world wide web of electricity.<BR/><BR/>For more information, see http://www.terrawatts.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946329304802422838noreply@blogger.com
