Resized and compressed

I believe it's actually a sub station circuit breaker.

Tor_Eckman I believe it's actually a sub station circuit breaker.

I was shocked to learn that

Took waaaaaaaay longer than it should have.

Very clean. The work shows. (or often doesn't but that's that mark of time spent)

Thanks for the nice words, Shaelain. Clean is what I strive for the most (I'm a little psychotic with my cut outs), and that's really nice of you to make mention of it.

Amazing, Impishimpi! How the HELL do you do that??

Thanks, Tillman!

It's just chopping out bits and re-organising them, really. With a bit of warp-tool to make them go where you want.

Safety in the workplace

Neato, Impishimpi!

Needs more Shooping, possibly with a touch of whooping.

When their poste photoshop connection, why do the people use O?

Perhaps my supposition this is many letter o cause in word photoshop to? Or possible it's, because, when the people see this time, they said that >.

Why did the personhoods say "O"

I thought that my first threat post is not understandable. Here is wut I mean:

Any what I meant that said is that when people see teh big O they say >

Is broken site.

'O' marks the posting of the original image, the source to use for photoshopping.

Very cool! Voted!

'o' = original image you have to photoshop

I used to spec out and do engineering on those, and yes, it is a circuit-breaker for a high-voltage switchyard. This one looks to be a 10Kv to 15Kv breaker. I have a shirt that reads "ABB, you gotta buy a breaker somewhere, and we need the money"

Verchad,

Nice move.

Good album, too.

And having the creativity for it too.

waiting until some 'clever' farker decides to photoshop this into optimus prime

'O' is for ORIGINAL.

As in the 'O'riginal image, unaltered and ready to be used.

Subby I don't think that's a transformer. I think it's a 3-phase, motor controlled switch.

It is for to their havening making easier of the finding of the image for the masses.

Please to showing me more of the shoes you have are selling? In clicking of your profile is very revealing me.

Flap Jack: Verchad,

Nice move.

Thanks Flapjack, and right a very good album

... Also known as a circuit breaker. The red/green indicator shows if the unit is open (green) or closed (red). Judging by the bushing length, it looks to be a 69kV unit. The breaker in the background with the larger bushings appears to be a 220kV unit. The breaker bodies themselves (called "tanks") are filled with sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) gas, probably the best insulating and arc-quenching gas known to man. The breaker has to not only break the circuit under light and normal load conditions (routine switching), it must interrupt fault currents up to 20 times the rated normal load current (typical current ratings are 3000A nominal and 65000A fault current.)

The breaker is known as the "puffer" type - as the breaker opens, assemblies inside the breaker squeeze a small amount of gas, normally at 60-90 PSI inside the tank, past the contact area at high speed, with the result that the arc is extinguished in a couple of cycles.

The breaker is operated using either a massive spring or a hydraulic pressure system. Either method usually stores enough energy for two complete openings and closings (many breakers are configured with a one- or two-shot reclosing sequence, where the breaker is automatically closed a second or two after a fault in case the fault was transient (tree branch, squirrel, etc.) If it trips again, it is locked out until someone can inspect the line.

The aluminum cowlings below the bushings house current transformers, which, along with separate potential transformers, provide inputs to the protective relays which determine when the breaker operates.

Sorry to ramble; I'm an electrical industry geek and get off on this type of stuff (well, not in THAT way...)

Not that it really matters, but that looks more like a gas circuit breaker than a transformer.

Don't take this the wrong way, or anything, but do you have a LIFE? I mean, Jeebus, that's gotta have taken some time...

Sure...make it sound easy. Many of us may not be able to pull it off as well as you. Very cool jorb!

Nice work Flap Jack! That was the first thing that I thought of.
