The higher the current the circuit can handle the more dire things get if there is too much, so of course there is over current protection. Also 5kA isn't the highest things go, multiple fuses can be wired in parallel.

Yea he's halfway to time travel power levels. That sounds like a challenge...

I once worked in a magnesium factory (in Porsgrunn, Norway) and the ampmeter on the wall was steady on 240.000 Amps, but voltage was only around 6 v. The "wire" for all this power had a cross section of 1.2 m2 (13.5 sqft). We used the same amount of electrical power as a city of 60.000 people. The magnetic fields in that factory was quite powerful. At certain places my quartz watch would stop (the second hand) in 1.5m (5 ft) distance from the "wire". One of my work spots (for 45 minutes) regularly reached 125 degrees C (257 F), and we had to wear heavy/thick clothing and rubber boots. The working conditions were quite horrible. Wet floor all the time (due to salts). On top of that we had to wear a kind of gas"masks" due to all the chlorine gas in the air. I drank up to 8 liters of water per shift and ate salt tablets. We only worked 3 x 45 minutes per shift.

Reminds me of what my dad used to do. My father was lead physicist for a hypersonic wind tunnel for Lockheed back in the 60s and 70s. It was called the "hot shot wind tunnel". The way it was powered was with a large tank, (maybe 12' long, 3 or so feet in diameter with many inches thick walls) that was filled with a noncombustible gas under high pressure. The tank walls were very thick. The nozzle, at one end was directed into the wind tunnel. When they wanted to take a "shot" they powered up a room (about the size of a secondary school classroom) filled with 1 farad capacitors. I don't know how many, but the banks filled the room. From that room to the tank, there were something like 12 copper buss bars, with a cross section of 1" by 6". I think there were 12 going and 12 coming back. The coming and going bars were separated by dozens of feet, going in separate hallways. (I was told, never saw them actually). The capacitors would be charged up, overnight I guess, and when all was ready, a switch was thrown which released inside the tank, one end of a piano wire that would spring from one internal wall electrical contact to contact the other side of the tube. When it got close to the other wall, the discharge was incredible. the spark was one (huge inches across (my memory)) spark that would instantly ionize the metal piano wire, and of course instantly heat up the gas inside the tank, such that the pressure became immense and would blow out the nozzle and simulate a jet stream of air that was something like 25,000 miles an hour. (for testing models of rockets and such). Like most boys, I was suitably impressed and thought it was the coolest thing. Of course they had their share of "accidents" up there and we always were a bit worried about him, but fortunately no one was every seriously injured to my memory.

So I worked in a factory doing sandblasting and high temperature metal coatings. One of the ovens that the company was using had three fuses as safety precautions, they were rated for 200kA. Yes, 200,000 amps. These ovens were the size of rooms and could get up to a couple thousand degrees inside to bond the metals chemically at the surface and basically weld whatever coating we were applying. At one point I took a vacation, came back to everyone saying there had been a fire. Talked to the boss and turned out one of the fuses blew and started a fire, their response to the situation?

Neither of these are present very often in small circuits, as it would likely use a lot of power, and in small circuits with less surface area this could easily lead it to overheat. a super capacitor or battery would likely not supply enough power and/or energy for this to kill you. This could only really be the case if it has a high power external power source (such as electric grid), and would need to operate at incredibly high voltages, and be capable of consuming very large amounts of power without frying themselves.

Ah, yes the 5000A fuse that I remember seeing 8 years ago in a video expecting it to be blown back then, but the sequel took 8 years, no complaints though, it was worth it. 💗💗💗

This is absolutely insane, I love it.

Guy says he's going to blow up a 5000 amp fuse, I automatically hit the like button and watch😂

Used to work for GE in US. Went to what they called their “high voltage test facility” to test lightning protection devices. They were trying to produce man made lightning. But of course, that is not possible. They had a high voltage generator, 2 actually. One was charged to plus 15 million volts, the other to minus 15 million. They would draw an arc across the 2. These generators were in a big building that looked like a giant airplane hanger. The spark would go,from one end of the building to,the other. But what I liked best was current generator. At max capacity it could output 250,000 amps, just a short pulse. When it went off the whole building shook. We made devices that could handle that peak current. Impressive to see.

whatchu mean man made lightning is impossible? the process isnt able to be reproduced due to the massive scale of it, but lightning in itself is just a static discharge no? are you referring to the magnitude of the lightning's power perhaps?

I used to work in an IT facility for a steel maker. The large machine room got it’s power from the neighbouring rolling mill. We had these huge transformers to step down the source to our needs. I saw an electrical engineer using a huge spanner to loosen and disconnect some prime cabling. Even though he checked multiple times to make sure the power from the rolling mill was off, he hands shook as he moved the spanner towards the bolt holding down the cabling…. The 3 of us watching took a few steps back before the spanner touched the bolt.
