Yorickie :

nazklx :

At what point do you have to warn the utility

planetearth :

randomtaxpayer :

captc7 :

I got to see a 13.8kv 10,000hp compressor motor get thrown across the line once. The lights there also went out 😂

NotTheJeans :

“Wwooaaahhhaahahaooooaaeeeeee”

9thomasson :

I worked for a water company for years and there is no comparison to a massive pump starting up on star-delta. Loved it

Yoshua_Toni :

Henrik :

Why is that 300hp engine so large? Because of massive torque?

El Jabonisimo :

"Soft Start"

Strapped_Aspie :

Quick mental math says approxmently 22kW, not to mention inrush current 💀

SparkyBob1978 :

Not sure of the hp or amperage, but I can say that when we start our 4160v boiler feed pump, it drops the voltage on the feeders from 14.6kv to 12.3kv 😂. It’s a big bitch.

pietdevries :

Why not star delta?

Lincoln Stamper :

When I ran the plant at the quarry if you started the big three motors at the same time the transformer would literally hit the ground.
