MissInformationsomething, something energy conductor
diana 🏳️⚧️🦋🌱I found the most voltage concrete can handle is about 2,000 volts. After that, it's like an explosive conductor of electricity and starts melting, blowing chunks at high speeds, and melting.
DamonHD@dianea @MissInformation Pray tell, how did you find that, pretty pretty please? B^>
One of the jobs I had was maintaining high voltage destructive cable testers. They ranged in size from small portable units to rooms with bomb proof doors with oil cooled transformers and voltage multipliers after the 150KV.
I found after a thousand volts, ordinary objects behave a lot differently. Anything can be a conductor or semiconductor if the voltage is high enough. I hear many say it's the current, but I've seen very large voltages at milliamps do major wattage events.
That aluminum ladder could be passing only 10 amperes of current, but at 14,400 volts, that would be nearly 150KW, which would be a blazing arc lamp with plenty of UV-C and possibly x-ray radiation too. Most people don't try to measure that, but I did...
