Hey Everyone!
This video is a quick walkthrough of a very basic Substation. Most subs now have much more advanced equipment! None the less, all of the equipment is tested regularly and just as reliable in terms of delivering power to the customers. In fact often times, substation related problems are fewer and far between not having to deal with all the fancy equipment! I'd still much rather operate a breaker remotely then mess around with a high tension fuse.
Be safe Everyone. Cheers! 🥂

Hey Everyone! This isn't what I would consider "a fine example" of a substation 😨... It's about as basic as they come, but it works! New subs follow the same basic principles but with much fancier equipment. The biggest down fall is not being able to remotely operate the equipment or retrieve electronic readings for fault data. The pros?? It's like working on an old car! Reliable and easy to maintain. 😁😏 Have a great week all! 🍻👊

Ain’t that the truth. It’s a bit scary to think about how fragile our infrastructure really is being all electronically controlled. Not just electricity, all other utilities and energy sources. While it is much more efficient and easy the electronic way, it’s hard to beat old school solid state mechanical equipment. Thanks for taking us along Aaron. Hope all is well on the home front!

Our stations go all the way from 4kv-34kv on the distribution side and 34kv-765kv on this transmission side. That 69 station is such a baby compared to our 765 EHV stations.

Here's 173 KV of appreciation for all you do. We.really like your program. You give great face to what goes on behind-the-scenes. We all see the wires running around us, but few of us have any idea what they do. It's great to see you explain it so we understand it. We're Coming to you from the lovely Santa Cruz mountains, 40 miles south of San Francisco. Being up in the mountains power is never taken for granted. We have storms throughout the year that cause the lights to flicker and the power to go out for several days at a time. It just takes one person failing 🎉to trim the trees on their property and it takes it down for everybody. Again, thank you for everything you do and please, please stay safe...

I enjoyed trying to identify the various components and even correctly answered a question that the manager gave to his team on one of the components. The substation I was in was substantially larger with multiple power transformers. It would be cool to see your tour of a larger substation.

👊 Had the pleasure of watching a crew replace a cross arm the other day after the previous one had failed, had reported the issue within the last three weeks, given that two winter storms and a wild early season intense thunderstorm wind event with winds pushing 60-70mph+ that brought almost 150,000 customers without power out of 1.2 million customers served it was a shock, but two bucket trucks and a supervisor changed out this cross arm in less then 30 minutes seemed effortless, should mention its a 3 phase sideline. But awesome to talk linework for a few minutes before the tailboard, and to see the reaction as a I dropped some power system knowledge from this channel. As always great video Aron watching from Somerset county NJ USA.

Question, is 16 an hour with no insurance and no chance of raises until a year something that's normal for an apprentice electrician? I made 10/hour more as a biomed in Oregon but due to their whack covid policies I lost my job and had to start at the bottom. My coworker walked off the job because he said 16 an hour and no insurance is a no go for him. Am I just cheap labor? Boss said there is no raise money, but showed up to work last week with a brand new $70k truck. And he keeps getting us shit jobs...for instance his brother's house. Or his house.

I was in traffic control manufacture for about 30 years and always was curious about the utility side of things. At our home we have breakers on the pole that covers an area for our neighborhood and down the street a ways. Really makes ya jump when one of those things go "Pop"! I am trying to figure out a way to convince our power company to move my power line to our home to a different transformer so I don't suffer the consequences of people not cutting their trees back. Thanks for your time and willingness to share your knowledge so we may be enlightened... no pun intended. By the way, I live in Oregon and I go by Bob also. Take care, be safe!

There are several VERY important reasons you don't open those switches on high voltage lines under a load. This is Bobsdeclines channel so I will leave it up to him to decide if he wants to get into detail about why. I will just say on one of the substations I designed in Europe an idiot opened up one of the lines feeding that substation from about 2 KMs from the substation. He put about 25 thousand customers out of power for several hours. Several hospitals and other critical places had to go on generators. I am sure Bobsdecline can relate some stories.

@@mfk12340 When I worked in the substations years ago I was on the switching and tagging list. In other words I was sometimes in charge of projects while working inside the substations. All work that was performed was usually done in a de-energized state. Once the work was completed it was checked, tested, functionally checked, etc. Once all work was completed we would remove "our" workman's grounds if that was necessary for the particular project and then cancel the clearance. (A clearance is permission to perform work that is granted by the operating authority within electrical transmission system) These projects are planned weeks, months in advance BTW. When we officially cancel the clearance, the work is all complete, no more work can be performed, and it's ready to return to normal service. We also declare that men and equipment are cleared and All Workman's Grounds are Removed! How this can happen in your case is beyond me. Sorry for the long explanation but someone is not following the safety procedures and if this happens again those responsible should be reported and sorry to say, fired!

@@generatorjohn4537 that's what's supposed to happen in our case too. And eversource never gave us a reason or explanation to what happened. At least for linehands. We had our master grounds one on like str # 180 and the other on str # 100ish. And eversource had been a pita with the 24 hour recall notice because it was one of the one of two lines going into this smaller substation. And somewhere somehow the chain of communications broke down and the re-energized the line with all our equipment still on it. Nobody was happy. They also did the same thing to our drillers, they had a couple underground line strikes, digsafe didn't mark them, and eversource came out and threw the fuses back in and re-energized the underground without riding it. Nearly fried the operator who was still in the machine. Also on our digsafes we did an audit on their reports. From the time we submitted a request from digsafe to when they said they went out and said it was clear was 13 minutes. They didn't even check if there were any utilities in the area.

Thank you for the video. BTW the previous one was fine. My first thoughts "hands in pockets", lol but I remembered what you said (dispatch, perimeter check...). I noticed that there is a lot of equipment mounted on wood. I guess that needs to be rebuilt every once in a long while.

That's a bulky 69 kV fuse. We don't have such in my country. Thanks for showing it 👍

One of my customers has three feeds into their data center from two different substations. Two from the local substation, and a third from the substation at the big gas turbine powerplant down the river a bit. We have to coordinate with the operations center at the power company before we switch which of the three we're drawing on or they get suuuper cranky with us. Which is fair, having that kinda load drop off suddenly isn't great for the grid.
