No Mike, this is the one at Otahuhu where they process scrap metal from old cars, old railwaytracks and industrial metal waste.
Most is processed into reinforcing steel or steel bars to be milled in square bars and slabs and exported overseas.

The one in Glenbrook is mostly heated with coal of memory and parts with electricity and sees about 3 long coal trains every day.

The LV 42000 Amps cables are watercooled. There was a blow up when a roof collapsed on top of the LV busbars a couple of weeks ago. The TX just kept going and was eventually shut down when smoke appeared from an other area where it was not supposed to be.

O.T. I'm in Christchurch on Wednesday for 1/2 day only, to have a look at a metering workshop.


The product of rotation, excitation and flux produces electricty.
