Actually, these are all isolator switches opening and closing. They are not made to stop current. I'm not sure about other countries, but in NL there's always a combination of a HV circuit breaker, which stops the current in about 20 ms, and one or more isolator switches like the ones in the video. Using the circuit breaker to open and close the circuit prevents big arcs like this.

@@DrAdityaa well basically they are simple switches, on and off. However, instead of turning a light bulb on, these switches are used to connect and disconnect power plants (like hydroelectric power plants) from the whole grid (where the electricity is transferred from power plants, sometimes over far distances to your home). These switches are used to switch on and off without a load=>meaning there is no electricity generated or consumed that is being put in or pulled out of the grid. If they for some reason are opened during the flow of electricity in or out of the grid, you get this massive arcs that sound incredibly mean (50/60 (or to be correct 100/120) Hz humm). If no load is flowing through these switches when they're opened, they'll still arc but much much weaker. Having said that you are by no means in any danger if your standing that "close". However I really value my life and I honestly do not want to get close to them even if it's save to do so (again I know what I'm talking about and therefore dealing with it accordingly) Hope this helps, if you didn't understand something please tell me ;) Edit: 0:31 switching with electric load 1:13 switching without a load

The arc was pretty spectacular at nighttime.

Those are air-disconnectors, not switches that open in fault-situations and certainly not designed to open while loaded. Switches that disconnect when a fault occurs are either powered by compressed gas (where the gas usually also serves as an arc-quenching medium) or coiled springs, that make sure the contacts are separated within in instant. Besides a gas of some sort, oil is another common arc-quenching medium.

Besides showing off (I wouldn't be too surprised if some linemen like to open these under load on purpose, even though that is dangerous) it's also a thing with procedures and maybe even thinking an upstream circuit breaker has been opened, which you quickly find out isn't as soon as you open 'your' airbreaker.

The reason of the electric arch is that the disconnectors switches open to slow, even though the Interruptor (Breaker) is open, the other part is still energized. For example y if you're going to give maintenance to the TR, the disconnectors switches that would do this phenomena, are the ones that are at the HIGH TENSION BUS side, not the ones that are on the TR side. That said, this shouldn't be yo happen. Sorry for the English, I'm Still practicing.
