US Power Companies Warn of Dangerous Transformer Supply Chain Issues
[TransformersMagazine] Power companies have issued warnings about dangerous transformer shortages in the USA.US power companies are raising the alarm about a potential energy crisis. Transformers are crucial to the grid because they change the voltage of electricity to make it usable. However, energy trade groups warn that the nation can’t count on aging transformers to keep the power on. Also, if transformers blow during storms, it could take more than a year for power companies to get new ones due to the supply chain shortage. ERMCO estimates that, in case a storm blows enough transformers in a city with no reserves, it could take several weeks to bring the lights back on. Posted by: Gromble Dribble4342 2023-09-08 |
