Sorry for the slow response, however I understand your transformer logic. There have been a few here in your style, and I have no issue with that install.

During the outages related to 'Sandy', there were at least a handful of OCP issues on re-energizations.

John,

During 1 flood in 1 of my towns, (This town gets flooded almost every year) the POCO shut down a whole neighbor hood and I had to go door to door writing up cut in cards. The next time there was a flood, the POCO just turn off the neighbor hood before the flood and turned it back on after the water had gone down. I don't know if there were any shorts or problems. No one ever contacted me. No permits were issued for that neighbor hood either.

Similar to your post above, there was a same situation in my home neighborhood.

JCP&L made a decission over Veterns Day weekend (Friday) to not energize any additional circuits until DCA Lic. Inspectors checked every house on the circuit. These haouse were checked by the crews and foremen from Alabama Power as they made repairs from the flood/storm.

Keep in mind that circuits in other neighborhoods were re-energized without DCA.

No cut-in cards were issued. Houses with issues had the meters removed (by Alabama Power); or the drops were cut.
