I haven't done or plan to do this and don't know anyone who has or plans to...
I just want to know how things work. I'm one of those that gets a toaster for Christmas and opens it to see how it works inside before I ever plug it in.
I spent a number of years as a maintenance electrician and we would try to think of all the what if's to make a system safer. Some of them were really bizarre, but one came true and because we covered that base no one was hurt. 1600 gallons per min spraying on a NEMA1 MCC 8000A 480VAC in 4+ inches of standing water and a phase to phase arc. The MCC caught fire and the GFP didn't open and only 1 fuse blew... Things like this make me think "what if".
I was thinking that when Mr. Dopey hooks his gene into the grid it would stall or breaker out, but we're still loosing linemen to backfeeds. Just wanting to learn why.
Also, hadn't thought about auto-reclosers sensing voltage downstream... After a few attempts do they stop trying to close? (Can you tell I want to learn more about HV transmission?)
Thanks everyone!!! I never stop learning from y'all!
