Re: Stealing Copper

Copper thieves..
Thats just petty.

I can name a couple of things that r more lucrative nd with the shortest jail-time you can get.

Can't believe I actually agree with you about something Thug.

Re: Stealing Copper

i love morons + high voltage!!

too bad that wire is actually aluminum with a steel core!! copper would corrode and become less conductive within 6 hours.

Kritz, judging from the insulators, i'll say that was probably 13.8Kv.. it was a bang and a flash.. probably arced to the morons for a hot second too.. i think it'll arc 14" or something like that..( 13.8Kv.. ) theres some voltages that'll arc 14 FEET.

so, the entire time you're in the ionization zone, you'll be a conductor until you're out of said zone.
Kudos!
Yes, it was 13,800 volts!
I'm the electrician who originally provided this story to my girlfriend (nobodysfool1967), who originally posted it here in another thread yesterday (or the day before?)

Re: Stealing Copper

Shocking! (No pun intended.)

A recent downtown Dallas job. Thieves were trying to pull a hot 13,200 volt copper wire out of a conduit. Note the bolt cutter and the copper wire on the ground.
