This channel is about all of abandoned places, houses, factories, and what not. Also a lot of electrical things, like meters, fire alarms, and transformers. Plus a little bit of random things.
Where Did All The High Voltage Go???
Unfortunately after some life changes, the ability to conduct high voltage setups has been impeded. Therefore I have been pursuing interest in transportation design and automation. But this is for sure only temporary.

230kV Substation
Переглядів 183Рік тому
230KV substation, this sits on the site of a former coal power plant closed in 2012. The substation is fed by 2 230kV lines from a nuclear power plant. The station then feeds 2 69kV lines, 2 138kV lines, and 2 230kV load side circuits. Several 34.5kV lines originate form the site as well.

Video from about a year ago. Ford 5L3Z broken left bank timing chain, luckily still ran on 4 cylinders and I was only a few blocks away from home upon failure. Replaced the entire engine with a new OEM Ford motor. Surprising enough no check engine light came on, even though a left bank cam position code was thrown.

If they dont fix mine imma be doing the same thing very shortly i can already sue the state and the police that come out here so ill get what i want no matter what, its just genius thinking not to mention 480 or so volts is gotta not be that powerful ive touch a 120 and 220 and they feel the same both weak im sure those small wires couldnt kill me if a water heater requires 220 and i touch it and it feels the same and i can pull away im sure i can with double cause it was absolutely no where near close to stopping me i work on things like even a dryier you name it the shock is weak as hell now dont do what i would im deadly
Very simple. To turn your power off a tech comes by your house and collects THEIR meter. Once it is unplugged the flow of power to your house is cut. IF YOU JUMP THE CONNECTION to give your house power that is stealing and they will have you arrested !
Who is watching 2025?
how much did you pay for the transformer your using in this video
How do you wire the high side of the single bushing model? Sidenote...I can't help but wonder what your hobby is that requires these LoL.
Can u go back and explore the inside now since it’s been closed since 2019?
I have a 10kva 19.9 with dual 11 shed bushings, they are massive! I have another 10kva that’s 13.8 delta with 8 sheds.
Hi! New subscriber here!
Power products transformers are made good and has a lot of copper in them. I bought a 50KVA BRAND NEW FOR $200 and a 100 worth of copper in trade! Top hanger on it is a bit bent like yours and mine weighs 595lbs i believe
Soo...The switch to turn it back on will be inside that bubble meter?
pretty sure those go past my house.. if it goes to Branchburg sub NJ. the line starts in PA
i own two
Hello! How does this not put HV on your house grounds? Isn't the H2 connected internally to the tank? And that's grounded to your mains.
that’s a long bushing at the video start
Pop goes the lightbulb lol.

oh dang the garage collapsed? not surprised. I vaguely remember someone living in that house when I was a kid.

Sadly the building is gutted now. I'd have loved to respectfully explore it when it wasn't gutted.
finally i found someone who likes high voltage and fire alarms
I will be heading out to the plant in a few weeks to confirm safety of the substation and the EPA will also be there to check the site groundwaters and substation.
congratulations you just made a video of the electric company fucking you and your family in the ass, you just dun fucked yourself
So if you take off the electrical meater all power that flows in the house will not work?
Did you turn off electricity prior to changing it?
So say someone is late and gets shut off bcuz of nonpayment, and that person just goes outside and turns it back on themselves before making payment, would they know?
Most likely, they read the kwh on the meter before the disconnect and if it’s different then they know it’s been tampered with.
Just picked up a 14400 transformer. Is the capacitor nessiscary or optional
Presco-Lite Profile Series
This guy has energised pole transformers in his bedroom for toys😮
I located a pole out on some abandoned land which has a sweet fat Bruce Jenner sitting out there all cold and lonely... Got the face cut put in with my chainsaw today and will make the back cut by hand at night. For shits and giggles I'm going to use the system I use for launching my ham radio antenna wires into trees, to lob a fine copper wire up and over the two high wires and hopefully NOT cause some massive phase to phase laterally traveling arcs. Either way will be fine with me. I've had my eye on this beauty for awhile and have planned for months and prepared to tactically evacuate this poor abandoned Optimus Prime, to a safe warm laboratory in an undisclosed location. If it's not possible due to excessive danger or other extenuating circumstances, well than it won't have been meant to be. I cannot find ANYWHERE to buy (or I should say SELL me, for less than the price of a large condominium. Being I'm not a utility...)one of this size. Price is the limiting factor. Sometimes you must risk it for the biscuit to achieve greatness. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ROUTE OF ACQUISITION TO ANYONE! Guaranteed prison if caught. Death (horribly) if done without knowledge and foresight. The cost to replace just the pole is THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. ITS ALL ABOUT LOCATION! This one I've mentioned has set there FOR YEARS on an overgrown lot with blackberry Vines growing higher than my head. Number one is making absolutely sure being caught is not a possibility. #2 is transporting and safely keeping the device in complete secrecy. #3 is not killing yourself/ the unit, OR anyone else OR causing a citywide blackout/dropping live main distribution lines. So wish me luck gents.
To be honest if you have a beware of dog sign as well as no trespassing signsand a gate locked so they cant get to your box they legally cant even go back there or they are technically trespassing
Yup then they will disconnect it at the transformer. Playing games like that you will always lose one way or another
If you pull it off, does it have a memory so when you put it back on it keeps the same usage number? Or will it start over from "0"?
looks safe :-)
These are super great meters along with the Ge Aclara KV which is my 2nd favorite meter. I remember when this was ABB A1D i think it came out in 1992 or 94. Then went to Elster in 2005 i believe, and then bought by Honeywell a few yrs ago. Really nothing has changed much with these meters since the abb days. Maybe just the nameplate which i really like now vs the Abb one. Looks as if Elster scribes the info into the white plastic. All around great meter.
My mom needs to pay 212$ for PG&E and I have 220$ and she doesn’t have money and our power is gonna get turned off is it okay to pay for it as a minor if I give her the money
They are installing SMART METERS here in Virginia,so how would you turn it back on if you have one of those?
Almost impossible. They have algorithms to detect such an event. All of the "honest" meters are reporting back all the time (by the hour, maybe the minute) how much power they are using. The power company further has meters on the poles or whatnot detecting usage down the line. Obviously, if more power is being used down the line than the meters down that line are reporting, you have a problem somewhere. The power company will eventually send someone out to investigate and they'll know down to a city block or so where the culprit is. It will only take them 10-20 minutes to find your meter and then you could be looking at theft charges. You might get away with stealing power for a day or so, but any longer you will eventually be caught. I'm sure they (and/or their algorithms) watch areas on the grid with a disconnection even more closely, meaning you may not even get away with it for an hour. Don't play this game, you will lose and it will cost you a lot. If you are truly struggling with paying your power bill, there is help out there from the government, non-profits, churches, etc.
Can't. Even when they're remotely shut off, the meter is still talking to the power company. They will know if someone pulls it, or it detects a bypass.
I have one I’m trying to restore it. If you can give me the best option of finding the wiring kit and the black piece that the wires connect to that would be very grateful.
So you need second transformer to get 380V? Why not build one that already have 3 phases like Europe ones have inastead of build many smaller ones.
Nah, ElectroBOOM should watch this
Had this happen recently will be taking the heads to a machine shop and reinstalling a new time chain should all run me about 2400$ to fix
You didn't answer why the primary does not need a return bushing....Ground is terrible conductor.

Thanks the video and trying to see inside I bet is was a pretty place in its day
My Grandfather buried on that land somewhere 😪
Good video Where did you have multimeter leads going to? Does the red clip and wire you have to snip have a chip in it or something that transmits when it's cut?
Awesome
