[SBE] Racking in a circuit breaker

[Thomas Wojciechowski]

The link below is one of the 'holy &#1*' moments no one ever wishes to participate in.  At first glance the event appears to be part of the DX series of 200 kW transmitters.  Maybe someone else can tell for sure.  The CB's handles 1,200 amps (if memory serves).  Each 200 kW TX can be combined for higher power ratings, I've seen 600 kW but I know there is at least one 1 MW in the Philippines.  The guy is racking in a CB home when *something happened*, wish I knew more....
 
Be careful out there....
