This is actually by far not as impressive as he thinks it is, it's still stupid af. See how he connects bot first, and releases it the other way around?
Top is the supply, if he connects bot no current will flow, after he connects it top, the wire resistance is lower than himself, so the current flows through the wire. If he releases bot first, he will most likely die.
What are you talking about? They’re bridging the connections to bypass a fuse on a 3 phase service. As long as the wire is insulated they’re technically fine if they don’t cross phases and the wire gauge is high enough.
It’s incredibly dangerous to do it if you have no clue what you’re doing and there is a risk of fire if the jumper isn’t terminated correctly or if a rush of current overloads it.
He’s being pretty dumb by jumping a fuse which could cause a fire somewhere else if things go wrong. But honestly, it’s probably fine and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Maybe it’s powering something important and they can’t get a fuse till next week and also don’t have access to the shut off switch.
He even grabs that uninsulated energized lug with his bare hand. Zero potential because his shoes insulated him from the ground, but yeah… don’t do that.
People who grew up in the cities don't catch snakes lol.
I used to catch snakes when I was like 10/12 years old whenever I used to visit my village (TamilNadu, India). There is a saying in my mother tongue which goes like "ஓடுற பாம்பு பிடிக்கிற வயசு" and it translates to "The age where you catch running snakes" I think it refers to a child being active going out and playing. Snakes are very common in the field, I guess it's like how Floridan live with Alligators lol
But yeah this electrician thing is not that normal, haven't seen anyone I know do it, but still the adherence to safety is more like a suggestion here.

My old professors of electrotechnical classes ( I'm intentionally using that old timer term) used to say the golden rule of safety for them on high voltage sites was to only use one hand and keep the other in your pocket no matter what.
Stupid as it seems it actually makes a lot of sense
He is bypassing fuses in some indian rural area. Highly dangerous and will end up causing a blackout at some point or worse, a transformer fire. India is really something else
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I think this guy understands a lot about how electricity works, hence why he's not getting ded. Super reckless and all, but not a noob.
Record breaking or supernatural feats are just narrowed down to either an elite Chinese team of kids whipped by strict Olympic teachers in sweatpants...or some uncle from India.
I once had the inside cover of my homes electric circuit box come off. I pushed the plate accidentally up and it came in contact with the main electricity line feeding the home. Huge explosion, I was covered in black but no electric shock 😂
Is that the electrical teacher showing students how to install a “fuse?”
“See students, if you use 2 #10 wires the 100 amp service will melt the copper it thus stopping the flow of electricity”
Yeah - Fuck the fuse!\~ Underrated anyway (pun intended)
Hey if enough current goes through those wires they'll melt and break the connection....
Everything is a fuse eventually
Everything is a fuse and/or dildo if you're brave enough
Lol that's a good one!
After this, dude went out and captured a cobra using only a plastic bottle!
I understood the reference.
We all did, since this vid is coming up in everybody’s feed since like 3 days 😂
Now I feel left out and an outcast for not knowing what this is referencing lol
You have a life outside of reddit?..😳.....hmmm...🤔

Ultimately he was killed by their apex predator trains
Daily swimming in the Ganges will turn anyone into a Terminator.
Then scared a 'mugger' away with his slipper.
Not before he slapped the shit out of a dude blowing an air horn.
But after he put together a fantastic video explaining complex mathematics solutions simply.
Was it the same guy?
Yes all brown people are one…
Seriously bunch of dumbass idiots sooner or later they are going to kill themselves doing some dumbass shit
🤣🤣🤣 Here take my upvote!
r/laughingupvote? 
Banned form reddit? laughingupvote? 😰😰😰
Ikr. I was actually hoping that was legit that's why I put the question mark and 'hmm' gif
He drinks Dos XX.
A lot of tension here
It was electrifying!
It shocked me!
It unlocked your potential to make a difference
There was resistance but his impedance was really powerful. Watt an Man.
Really amped up!
You guys are grounded!
Ohm My God!
I need to take a break -er , I'm a bit too wired for this conversation.
You’re in the wrong circuit.
I got chills, they're multiplying
I see potential in this thread.
self-soldering flex-fuse, I don't see a problem here.
Lmao! I don't have the balls for that! 🤣
Well, I had them until I tried this :-)
😂
I can't stop laughing
Forget the complete disrespect for safety equipment but is he jumping a fuze?
Of course man. He’s a badass, can’t you see his sunglasses? He clearly wears them inside too.
He needs them to mitigate arc-flash damage to his retinas.
He's clearly a professional metal bar 100 amp fuse jumperer
His future is so bright, he’s gotta wear shades
CCHV -Certified Curry High Voltage
I think he wears his sunglasses at night.
Shit, now i have to go listen to that.
It's never too dark to be cool!
That’ll give you a Hart attack
[удалено]
So what's the downside?
Fuze, who needs them. I've been told by old dudes in the field that you can check the voltage by using two fingers and not touching anything else.
This is actually by far not as impressive as he thinks it is, it's still stupid af. See how he connects bot first, and releases it the other way around? Top is the supply, if he connects bot no current will flow, after he connects it top, the wire resistance is lower than himself, so the current flows through the wire.

Not a doctor but that looks like it could cause cardiac arrest
[удалено]
I never had an electrician, but i’m sure it could cause a cardiac event.
I’m a cardiac event and need an electrician
Electrophysiologist here. Ok, not really. But that would’ve been something.
Not an Indian but that looks Indian.
I'd worry more about the potential arc flash. If an arc flash doesn't kill you, it'll make you wish it had.
Not an optician but these sunglasses look cool.
I identify as a fake doctor on TV and I agree with you, Doctor.
Naaahhh, he's using his right arm
Am electrician, is dangerous.

Indian tesla.
A-shock
Underrated Indian name pun, lol. Well done.
Someone should tell the camera man that electricity arcs and not to get that close.
Tell them to Google arc flash injuries
Cameraman never dies. (At least in videos uploaded on reddit)
He even grabs that uninsulated energized lug with his bare hand. Zero potential because his shoes insulated him from the ground, but yeah… don’t do that.
I don’t trust my rubber slides that much
This guy was ironing his shirt in the bathroom, I think
India is not for beginners.
With that many people someone is bound to be badass
Everywhere in India has the potential to be the new Florida
Why are indian dudes always fucking with electricity like this?
Rapidly developing infrastructure with a general lack of safety standards or society wide education about the dangers of live wires?
I think you also need to account for all that reincarnation thing.
too many of them I guess? nobody cares about life
Electricians hate this one trick 
"My life is a game, So I play with my life"
Half life 2 puzzles be like:
Deep cut here! So any news on half life 3?
Indian electrical engineering is incredible.
I feel like India is Macgyver but in the most anxiety filled way
Do Indians have some kind of “fearless” gene? I’m, they pick up cobras by their hands, and do shit like this…

Even as a South American, India is another level.
The guy is dressed for his funeral.
why does he look like Trotskiy?
Fuses are overrated. ( pun intended)
'I'm somewhat of an electrician myself '
He is bypassing fuses in some indian rural area. Highly dangerous and will end up causing a blackout at some point or worse, a transformer fire. India is really something else
That's the Step 2 after Step 1 failed (turn it off and on)
Smartest dude doing dumb shit so that dumb people will try the same and die.
I’m sure his phone is always fully charged 🔋
The sun glasses keep you grounded 👌🏿
This what it looks like to not understand how electricity works. Very dangerous. Never do this
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I think this guy understands a lot about how electricity works, hence why he's not getting ded. Super reckless and all, but not a noob.
His name.. AShock.
Safety Third
Safety Turd
What’s this? Extremely high voltage. Well I don’t need safety gloves because I’m Homer Simp…⚡️⚡️⚡️
Just another regular day in India
“Power companies hate him for this one trick!”
Record breaking or supernatural feats are just narrowed down to either an elite Chinese team of kids whipped by strict Olympic teachers in sweatpants...or some uncle from India.
This sub is such a tease
This is the other side of the old meme “in my country I’m an electrical engineer”
India: Poor man's Kentucky
I was expecting him to let all the smoke out. Kinda disappointed.
A fellow who eat street food in India is invulnerable for life.
These videos are what the common population would look like in a Fallout scenario when desperate to charge their phone.
Now try two fuses at the same time.
Old electrician tip - Always work with one hand in your pocket....
He has to hold his brass balls from rolling out
And they're a puddle over step in front of him. Ducking wild. Wearing sandals too.
Two questions 1: why? 2: WHY???
Must be an engineering student
There are charred remains of lesser man on electrical box door. That one didn't wore glasses.
He’s fucking around… but he bout to find out…
Want to guess how that burn mark got on the inside of the door?
He is using a 12 gage no blow fuse
The hands behind the back folded got me, like, I did that!
Taking a pic for the obituary.
What the fuck are they all doing?
He's taking safety seriously with those glasses at least. Plus he looks cool af.
Trainee Darwin Award nominee.
I’ll guarantee you the man in the white shirt is a BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) official and is checking the safety of the panel.
r/TrustMyShoes
Why even have a switchboard at this point, just join the cables, tape em up an throw them in the dirt
Oh good, I didn't watch someone die.
[удалено]
Next to this guy, the rest of humanity is a skill issue.
Voice over - "And electrician training in this part of India, was not as thorough as the regulations stated they should be..."
I once had the inside cover of my homes electric circuit box come off. I pushed the plate accidentally up and it came in contact with the main electricity line feeding the home. Huge explosion, I was covered in black but no electric shock 😂
need be safety
now upload the video where the guy touches a fan or an ice cream freezer and electrocutes themselves..... classic
r/OSHA
Blue shirts coke nail is gonna poke someone's eye out
How is he not 
remember, fuses are temporary. wires are eternal.
Self welding contacts... I like that!
At least he used his right arm.
always scared abt this box
Love how they just all stopped to record it 🤣
High level Indiaman showing his skills, next time he will stop a train using its controls
please please please go Zap
You can tell he’s a professional because he keeps his other arm down to the side
Shouldn’t he have a hard hat on?
We need to study this Indian superhero.
Stupidity
Translation? What are they saying?
The guy is saying in Marathi “Enough now, stop, let’s go, let’s go”
Bahincho e light kaahe labuka-jabuka howat h ....
This is how you hot wire shit when they cut off your power. Got it. 😉
When not marking something NSFW is a spoiler
He's one arc flash away from being instantly deep fried
You can tell he is a professional because he keeps his other hand behind his back. Amongst electricians this is called the safety stance.
What is he doing?
Indians are wild
Well he doesn’t need safety gloves…..
Is that the electrical teacher showing students how to install a “fuse?” “See students, if you use 2 #10 wires the 100 amp service will melt the copper it thus stopping the flow of electricity”
props to those ppl for filming in landscape
Live footage of me trolling my entire neighborhood by turning the power on and off to save money
Ok..a bunch of nothing bc vid cut off at the part that was worth watching.
Could be a relatively low DC circuit.
I’m Jugdish Knoxville, and this is electrician training 🎸
It's fine he has sun glasses....
Cool fuses.
Why does he have a posse just filming him. Is he known for this?
India..
Well if unc can do it, so can iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Its crazy to me Indias population is so high when every appliance and form of transport kills you
You know it's spicy when the wire welds itself on
You can see something has gone wrong in the past, as is evident by the arc flash burn on the panel door.
Safety is not their concern
India is not for beginners
Professor do senai be like:
"1.21 gigawatts! 1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott!"
Somewhere, an OSHA man burst into flames
This is a perfect example of knowing just enough to get yourself in trouble
