There isn’t any fire jetting out of any of the 3 transformers. Blatantly coming from the cross arm below them. Just a helluva lot of current vaporizing the wood.
Only if there is an overload..... that intermittent, secondary short to ground isn't enough current to blow the fuses on those big transformers. They can put out 100's if not 1,000 Amps, depending on voltage and still not be overloaded.
Probably oil; most transformers use it as a coolant and an insulator, but it also burns nicely if something flashes over. That's why electricity is so expensive, they charge extra for the light show :)
Transformers can spew fire because they use mineral oil as a conductor and coolant. Under certain conditions, when there is a leak and the temperature is high enough, ignition can occur. A very high voltage can produce a high enough temperature, and it is enough for it to be at one point.
I happened to see a pole transformer do this at night once. It was scary but at the same time spectacular because of all unbelievable colors that were emitted!
Had one pop in the space behind me house when I was a kid. Fortunately I wasn't looking directly at it or I probably would have had some eye damage. The flash was so bright that it overwhelmed midday Texas summer sun. The boom was incredible. The cover for the primary connections was gone and smoke was billowing. It took almost a week to clear the brush to get in there to change the transformer. The lineman told me it was another attack by Cyber Squirrel 1.
This is what happen when you only rely on primary side fuses and don't have secondary side fuses. In Europe, Asia and The Middle East all distribution transformer has primary and secondary fuses.

Shouldn't the circuit breakers have opened up in order to protect the circuitry? And wouldn't the power company have detected a fault? Well... Looks like you're gonna have to wait 6 months to buy some new ones cause they're only built in China and Italy!

Annoying Hondas at 2 AM:
Show offf
Ikr so annoying!!
That's funny
That transformer is just reacting to the price of a Snap On screwdriver
Not a transformer fail, secondary wiring is shorting to ground on cross arm.
Dude I was totally just going to say that
Me too
I don't think that transformer is doing too well at this point; the fire jetting out of it means it's not so good.
@@markh.6687 Where did you see it coming from the transformers? It's coming from the cross arm under the transformer. Transformers are fine.

Shout out to the snap on dealer over charging on tools through this.
Me trying to start my 66 Pontiac in the winter.
😂😂😂😂
Sounded like a top fuel dragster starting up!
Exactly what I was thinking too! Also the Merlin engine in the P51 mustang sounds just like that too on start up!
Saturday night in Chicago...
Must be all of those wonderful EVs charging up and saving the planet.😂
Me after chipotle
😂😂😂
Hahahahah
Dumb/uncreative
Or Taco Bell...
Excellent 😂
Those fuses are SUPPOSED to blow & prevent any further overload.

Just give it a couple more seconds I'm sure it'll work
Supposed to, well that was before chineseum
Lo mismo supuse, pero ya explicaron un poco porque no funcionaron los fusibles
Pretty tame, as far as transformer failures go
Transforming into a V8... Sounds pretty cool actually.
Lyke V8 engine... is correct !!! Como motor V 8 ... es correcto !!!
The transformer had too much taco bell
Ah yes testing the new snap on electro magnetic pulse cannon.
That overly high price Snap On tool truck is what caused it!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eu não sabia que o poste também fumava narguilé é a primeira vez que eu vejo um porte fumar narguilé😂😂😂😂😂
Plug in those EVs baby. Crank up the magic heat pump while you wait !!!
There goes the quintessential Norton.
This is what happens when you run your power plant on beans
Somebody must have been mining a shit ton of bitcoin
Parece un castillo de pirotecnia en mi pueblo asta mejor 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
This is so dangerous!I I would of called the fire department and Com Ed to shut down the power.
Pretty exciting. Wonder how many BHP those babies had 😂
It saw how much the Snap On guy wanted for a ratchet
Not sure what it is that's spitting flames, but it's definitely not those transformers.
Agreed. I wonder what it is?

@@nebojsailic5758 I know that, but it's not coming from those transformers.
Esse poste tá lançando flare,pra se defender😂😂😂
C’est exactement le même phénomène qui se produit avec les voitures électriques 😢
I watched one pop like this at night. We were about eye level with it on a hill. Maybe 75 yards away. It was a great light show and experience😢
If you inhale the smoke you can get really high

Bright UV light can damage the eyes. Be careful with staring directly at any "welding."
@@NotSexualAtAll I'm now blind.
I was driving home and one exploded right as I went by it. 3:00 AM.
If Build Back Better was a Utility pole. 🤣

At 1:16 that arc on the left made a smoke ring shooting down.
If you’re a Duke Energy customer in that area, expect an increase in your monthly energy bill.😂 Duke love’s passing on charges.
According to FPL,
it was caused by hurricane damage and they must recoup...

Transformer was not related to it at all. Just the secondary wiring on the cross member.
Reminds me of the alien ships in Battle Los Angeles.
Someone inside a building is like "Oh shit turn off the 3 coffee makers and the hair dryers"

Gavin Newsome be looking at this like...how many Tesla's were at the charging station...
@ 01:15 Smoke ring going down.
*Sounds like my old P-51.*
Thats better than going to see fireworks
That’s the strangest most calmest explosion I’ve ever seen

Pyrotechnicians: 💥
No problem, the Snap-On man is there. He can sell the guys the tools for $250.00 a month for the next 14 years 😅😂
FALTO EL , VIVA LOS HÉROES QUE NOS DIERON PATRIA Y LIBERTAD.
That’s pretty much what happens to EV’s
ESSE TRANSFORMADOR TEM TRÊS TURBINA 😂
Need Jason Statham up there! He needs the power! 😬
That's called 'better call home and let them know I won't be home till like midnight'
If hiccups could be visualized....i think this would do the trick.
Someone nearby tried to divide by zero.
It looks like a 4th of July fireworks grand finale. But I bet some people freaked and thought it was an active shooter.
Sounds like a cold start diesel.
...QUE COMIENZEN LOS JUEGOS DEL HAMBRE!!! ✊🦅🏹
Sounds like Jack Benny’s car.
Ah yes, clean energy 😋
This is what happens when too many of those damn EV's are added to the local grid!
It sounds like my neighbor's truck going down the road 😂
The transformers are fine.The are dutifully providing current into the shorted secondary wiring.
With that sound I wanted some popcorn 😂😂😂
1:15 that smoke ring was pretty cool
Esa cosa parece castillo de pirotecnia😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😜😜
Ah Mexico y su pirotegnia.😂😂😂

How would secondary fuses prevent this?
this sound effect for the 'aghhhhh' replacement sound in all those movies
The famous "Wilhelm Scream"😂
😂😂😂😂parecen los cuetes de las fiestas de mi rancho 😂😂😂😂
You can plainly see that's not a transformer failure.
Es un transformador...???yo creí que era un fuego pirotécnico de esas coronas que le ponen a los castillos en los pueblos
Needs spark plugs, coils, oil change and new muffler 😂😂😂😂

That one neightbor with a supercar at 6AM:
So who parked their Tesla on a power pole??.
Parece que de un momento a otro se va elevar hasta la luna😂😂😂
The sheer power of Snap-on Tools is evident.
Agreed!
Transformers are good. Secondary wires shorting out. Fuses are very old. Trip o link fuses. They probably replaced them
I told you to take the popcorn out of the microwave when the popping slows down!😂
Transformador estava guspindo 🔥🔥🔥 SP
Looks like Haley's campaign. 🤣
Trump 🇺🇲
all the EV are draining the grid
Look at that clean electricity! I wonder how long it will take to get those transformers replaced.

"Everything--everything is falling on your [van]"
Y los corta circuitos? no funcionaron (cuchillas fusibles llamados en México).. algo a da mal con el diseño de esa red eléctrica ..
To me that's a thing of beauty.
Shouldn't the circuit breakers have opened up in order to protect the circuitry? And wouldn't the power company have detected a fault?
Well... Looks like you're gonna have to wait 6 months to buy some new ones cause they're only built in China and Italy!
My money says that this was caused by a squirrel
