Wonder why a breaker didn't trip somewhere on that last one, or burn the boom cable in two?

Awesome vids!

Pretty cool.. I wonder why the arc in the first video goes up in the air instead of finding it's way down to the ground?

Pity the poor operator of that rig, I'm sure he's charred beyond recognition.... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I've often wondered about this as well. Sometimes the fault to ground is not enough to overcome the power that is available thru that feeder. If the ground would have been wet I think it may have tripped something somewhere on the line.
