RE: ~ A Day With A Lineman #29 ~ Gettin’ Trashed at the City Dump ~
It transforms or steps up/down the voltage. No moving parts. The oil is an insulator inside the transformer or else it would just blow up due to its metal case. That transformer converts 14,400 volts down to 120/240 volts. 240 volts is measured from one hot wire to the other and 120 volts is from any hot wire to ground.
Your first lesson.
😉😉
Electricity is totally fascinating!!
hahaha thank you for that. You just won a new follower (and possibly a student?). I will follow your publications closely.
Look up helicopter lineman. It’s pretty awesome.
