Electricity. It lets you know when it wants out
15KV Load break switch. Or should I say FORMER load break switch.

Metal-Clad switchgear is pretty heavy-duty. But 15KV is on the low end.
What's the application? |

I quit work for over an hour because of that. Took out the whole section of a FOB when I did that. No voltage or amperage is on the low end. |

We run a network(not IT) system here. This was a feeder for our Neutron research facility cooling system.
Failure- no surge. I have told the bean counters many times electrical equipment should be in buildings. Nema 3R be damned |

15KV is considered medium voltage but it's at the lower end of the scale.
My company makes medium voltage switchgear and although we do make 15KV stuff the majority is 27, 29, or 38KV The metal clad stuff make by Eaton in the picture goes from 5 to 15KV so it's at the high end of that product line, for them, but not the high end for general switch applications typically used by electric companies. |

Pffft. One of our generators puts out over 20,000 volts and goes through a step-up transformer to 345,000 volts.
That’s it. That’s all I know about the electrical side of our plant. Shit scares me. You can SEE a water leak. Electricity? Not so much. |

We're started using drones to inspect our transmission lines too.

No; those two and Eaton are competitors of ours.
I went to the IEEE T&D convention in Denver in 2018. I was walking around taking pics. Mostly I had no idea what I was looking at. I just took pics of stuff that looked cool to show Mrs Flex when I got back. Wandered into the Eaton booth and some dude saw my company name on my lanyard and started giving me a a hard time about taking pics. I said "Dude, I'm in finance I don't even know wtf I am looking at." He was not amused. Fukkem. |

I worked in a lab that had three phase power supplying a dyno. It had three 350MCM cables at each phase at the breaker. The breaker blew and copper was splattered inside like it was hot wax.
