[ASMR] 30+ Minutes Of 1600 kVA Electric Transformer Humming at 50 Hz | No Talking 

its not running at full load haha so no worries

@@bartje0505 Full load is probably enough to pulverize a bike. But what you claim to be a small voltage is probably enough to blow the limbs off a person.

*It sounds like the back rooms.*

Thank you sir. Koszenem szipen baratom.

I found electric locomotive hum mesmerizing in my youth.

For me, 60hz sounds terrifyingly loud and annoying

ummm, i think you're a robot and you just don't know it...

@@NovaStrike118 no bro it is the sound of current flowing in my body as we know our brain trasmitte singles by current .

same here but when I have one of my famous strokes

Umm ur a microwave then

@@user-tv1lv6kc6b you on drugs or something?

Exactly !!! There is 50Hz fundamental and some 3th,5th,7th,9th,.. harmonics. 216,6Hz component of remote control could be superimposed in certain time periods as well..

Around 216.667​@@suriva

The main peak is at 200 Hz.

Well roughly 50Hz anyways. No AC signal is constantly a perfect 50Hz, it goes up and down very slightly depending on how many people are using electricity.

Some car battery chargers make this sound all the time when plugged in

@sort of guy? awesome!

I think it sounds menacing. It's like the unstable human discovery which we try to tame and control but it just humms and growls like it's ready to shock you dead.

Try listening to it 24h for several months. Trust me, you will hate it.

460 volt battery.. holy crap i thought a 12v battery was a high voltage enough for a battery

@@Dr.andonuts primary side is 460 volt, batteries are usually 36 or 48v made from lots of 6 volt cells

Thank you sir.

Not weird, I've been listening to those since I was 14 years old. You can also try out nebulizer sounds

synchronicity

I suspect that compressor sound very similarly, but not exactly the same. So sound waves interfere differently depending on time. Sometimes constructively, sometimes destructively

Beat frequency

actually its powering the backrooms

there are many distribution systems worldwide.. I have a 110KV transformer in another videos.. these are just specials.. most of the urban network is 22kV.. I can make dozens of vids with that but I dont find it interesting...

This transformer is from early 1980s before the whole resin die cast era... never ever saw one fail... primary voltage is 6kV

@YAKUMO RAN tio, classic coil ballasts for lamps are unbeatable, wont bet a penny on a solid state shiat...

@@suriva nice. I'm guessing it's an epoxy fibreglass composite?

It's 50Hz mixed with 100Hz. 120Hz is present with 60Hz transformers.

The harmonics are integers of the fundamental frequency

Yes it is 100Hz because the resonance frequency is double that of the AC frequency

It's only 6kV ph-ph which is about 3.5kV to ground. That won't even jump 1cm in air. Just keep your hands clear of those bus bars 😅

@@inductivelycoupledplasma6207 then why i have i seen videos of microwave transformers at 2 kv making huge arcs jumping several inches?

@@EphemeralProductions because once the arc has started it can be stretched out. A 2kV arc won't strike until about 1mm. Depending on the current, the arc can be drawn out much longer than this

@@EphemeralProductions I have plenty of videos uploaded which demonstrate this :)

@@suriva so around 12000 volts.

@@suriva gotcha. You confused me with your commas lol

you mean amps? voltage doesnt flow... right?

@@thinginground5179 what do you mean?

@@EphemeralProductions you fuckiing saw what i mean

at power substations...

yes, sure its 50Hz and its harmonics (not 60Hz and its harmonics), the load is not linear (nor pure resistive) resulting in presence of higher odd harmonics in the load current

@@suriva Thank you

suriva: what is the easy explanation of the difference between amps and kilovoltamps?

@@EphemeralProductions Amperes: A measure of electrical current. I.E. how fast electrons are moving in the circuit - as opposed to voltage; how much electromotive force is present. Kilovolt-amperes: A measure of apparent power, achieved by multiplying voltage times amperage. Not to be confused with kilowatts, which is a measure of true power achieved by multiplying voltage times amperage times power factor. Inductors and capacitors in AC systems store and release energy every cycle, thereby introducing reactive currents that generate heat in the circuit conductors without performing useful work. Apparent power is the vector sum of true power and reactive power, where both are modeled at a right angle to each other. Power factor is the ratio of true power to apparent power. i.imgur.com/OLrYlL9.jpg

@@TankCrusher210 I asked for an EASY explanation. That one was a bit over my head. LMAO I have not a clue what true power and reactive power are.

@@EphemeralProductions VA measures the sum of both the real and imaginary components of the power you're transmitting. Basically, when you power something with DC you are only transmitting real power. All of the current that flows through the wires is coming from the generator and going to do real work in the load at the other end of the wire. In this scenario if you have a 100W load you're also transmitting 100VA. When you're powering something with AC, however, along with your real (or active) power you can end up transmitting imaginary (or reactive) power as well. This power does not perform any real work (which is why it's "imaginary" in the mathematical sense), but it does exist and gets transmitted anyway, so your equipment needs to deal with it. An easy way to visualize both active and reactive power is pushing a wheelbarrow or handcart. If you've got a cart with round wheels (as you presumably do) you're only expending real power: you push, and the cart moves. Now imagine your cart has oval wheels: you have to push *harder* than before to roll the wheel from horizontal to vertical, and once it tips on the other side the cart yanks you forward. What's happened is that you've once again introduced and imaginary component to your power. Energy is being transferred back and forth between you and the cart (you push, then it yanks you along, then you push again), but this energy transfer is totally useless. It isn't moving the cart forward at all, it's just causing you discomfort. The same happens with AC. If you have a reactive component such as a motor, it will keep transferring this useless energy back and forth between your load and the powerplant where the energy is made. The generator pushes your motor forward a little, then the magnet in the motor "tips" and yanks the generator along with it, then repeat. Your real power may still be 100W, but your apparent power (real+imaginary) may be as high as 120 or 130VA for a cheap motor.

why?

Still a 50Hz transformer though.

Daniel Olaussen The ferromagnetic core vibrates at twice the fundamental frequency. because it expands and contracts in each half cycle respectively. therefore vibrates at 100Hz

@@suriva so the coil is completely safe?!

@@CrazyPlayer-pf2hv it's not to be touched when operating, but under normal conditions, it's safe - the coils are insulated.

the fundamental frequency is 50Hz not 60Hz

50Hz AC resulting in a 100Hz tone.

100hz or microwave

because there is a high voltage transformer in it that is running at around 2000 volts. LOL any high voltage transformer will hum from magnetostriction.

A microwave transformer makes 2kv

Every device with a mains transformer make this kind of sound. Even a small car battery charger or a radio-clock. Just put your ear next to it and you will hear it clearly. But, it can't have a switching type of power supply (like modern phone chargers), because their transformers work at very high frequencies (like 50kHz for example), it's above the audible frequency so you won't hear anything (or a very high pitch tone).

Line frequency in this case is 50Hz and the transformer is fed by a 3-phase system. All acoustic frequencies produced are multiples of this fundamental. 50Hz itself is not very apparent because electrical current peaks twice every cycle - meaning magnetostriction in the core (and the sound it produces) occurs at twice the line frequency. 192Hz is impossible. You're probably picking up on the 2nd harmonic of 50, which peaks 4 times every fundamental cycle and produces an audible sound of 200Hz. Listen carefully with good headphones around 0:04-0:05: You can pick out 300Hz, which is the sound produced by the three cores 120* out of phase peaking a total of 6 times every fundamental cycle. 100Hz is readily apparent - the sound produced by the fundamental of 50Hz peaking twice every cycle.
