Just reading through some of the older threads.

That transformer was upgraded to a 750 kVA, which caught fire on the LV rack about a month ago. ( nov 2007 )

I see if i can find some photo's from that fire.

Now a 1000 kVA TX is installed here.

The silly thing is with this so called de regulation of the electrical industry is feeding these industrial sites via a 185 mm² Al ringmains. The developer puts in the minimum required and problems start almost immediately when the loads builds up in the area.

In the old POCO days, any new supply over 160 Ampères will get an HV supply with a TX on site.

We have had various LV pillars melt down here because of overloading.
