Its the transformers that cannot be readily replaced - without which generators do nothing but spin, generating electricity to no where.
Most transformers are custom built and take years to replace due to limited manufacturing and long lead time. Some one will have to ship boat loads of them to Ukraine. But the Orcs will just repeat the cycle - using Iranian missiles if they have to.
BeauBo's post at #97 states "The US is giving Ukraine $53M and another $56M is coming from Germany to supply Ukraine with transformers and other key parts for the repair of the Ukrainian electrical grid."
I believe that prior to the war Ukraine was supplying electricity to at least one EU country. I'm guessing that electricity in Europe is standardized at 240 volts at 50 hertz. What I don't understand is...If Ukraine's electricity is the same as EU then why would the transformers need to be custom built?
Please remember that I am a pilot and not an electrical engineer. Thanks!
