Re: transformers - Chyna can’t ship them fast enough. After the tornado outbreak in western TN/KY a few months ago, several power coops and distributers asked TVA to assess and rebuild several pole-top transformers for them as they could not acquire enough replacements fast enough. These are the smaller transformers seen on poles, ranging from 25-50 KW in size.
TVA was able to salvage and repair/rebuild about 2/3 of the ones turned over to them. These transformers had been on poles that were taken down by the storms, and had thus suffered some significant impact with the ground.
And this will be a problem after the expected invasion of Taiwan. They control the parts for our Electrical Grid, they control us.
Are there any remaining transformer manufacturers in the US or Canada?
