A tree branch (from 50' away) landed on my transformer, and it went BOOM!(sorry nothing happening after 1 min 10 sec..new equipment problems making editing difficult)
Honestly the best thing anyone can do in a situation like this is shut off the main breaker in the house, or the service meter breaker if you have access. This erratic of voltage is the thing that does major damage to electronics, and isolating your house from the grid will protect all the expensive electronics including major appliances.
3 times. but it wasnt the power company... there is a device called a recloser on every line and it trips on and off 3 times when it senses a fault. it will attempt to burn off whatever is causing the fault, in this case, a limb... after 3 tries, if the fault still is present,it will kill the power for that area of the line. once the power co comes and removes the fault, they reset the recloser and yall got power again. hope that clears it up
it exploded because the tree branch was touching 2 lines which allowed the electricity to flow through the wood therefor shorting them out and causing a meltdown
its not a transformer the trans former is the white cylinder it is the electricity trying to jump over the stick but in the air it expands like lightning
