/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>433478
I used to work at a place called hollywood lights/lighting services and we used 0, 00, 20, 30, 50 amp cam and twist lock and ran long runs from some city connections on the city grid power with the blue 5 pin 3phase 50 and 100 amp "hubbell" plugs (shown in pic)

Down the street from work I noticed a substation with one of these outlets on the side of a transformer and wondered if one could syphon power off the grid there.

And yea I know that in reality I'd die, pretty sure the youtube link is the chinese painters that knocked there scaffolding into the above head lines and fried as I've not copy/pasted it yet.
Shit 20 amps is enough to kill if your hands are wet, 50 if your grounded well and your hands are bone dry.

I think we called the type W cause they were 00, 000 or 0000 gauge.

Yea our 100 amp panels I think were several 10's of 1000's (we had a blown one sitting in the shop they told me the back story, some n00b disconnected the 3 phase in the wrong order and fried the box - he was fired)
