Help a guy with pictures!
(OP)
I'm putting together a presentation for introducing some of our station personnel to the wonderful world of medium voltage switchgear.
Naturally, pictures of their new switchgear are easy. All I have to do is walk in the building and take what I want.
However, I want to show some slides of when things go horribly wrong. My own stock is rather limited. I am looking specifically for photos of blown up, faulted, damaged, or otherwise messed up medium voltage indoor switchgear.
I would also appreciate a photo or two of a large electric motor showing winding damage.
Any nameplates, logos, etc. which might make somebody uncomfortable will be pixelled out.
Thanks

Air is preferred, but I'm not picky. Spectacular counts for extra points.
Tinfoil-
I have those two. I was going after some stills for the PowerPoint.
jraef-
Next week would be wonderful. At the price I'm paying, I can't push delivery times.
Thanks, guys!

You should be able to embed video in your ppt file.
Adds a LOT of impact to a presentation like this.

Somebody let the smoke out of this transformer.

If a wrecked turbo-generator will suffice as a large motor I have a few images of a couple of machines which had a very bad day. I also have a collection of photos of a wrecked unit auxiliary transformer which blew up and killed three colleagues.
Let me know if any of them would be of interest - I'll try to get them done tomorrow because I'm away next week.

I am frequently called upon to present classes on electrical safety subjects.Any thing you're willing to send, I will be happy to accept.
I am the electrical guy for an interstate gas pipeline that is just beginning to see large electrical power and while my station folks know all about several thousand horsepower 300 RPM piston engines, electricity above 480 volts is alien to them. I'd rather them not think they can get brave...

Good ones! Especially the first two, since our guys will have VCB's and a few of them will be racked in and out fairly often as lockout-tagout for motors. They need to know that the operation has its dangers.
