OT: Another Entergy Issue
- Thread starter Bulldog45
- Start date
Transformers pew pew around us in crossgates yesterday evening. Neighbor said he was getting txt alerts for no power although he had power the whole time. Crazy. Get ya **** together, entergy!
Flux capacitors have really dipped in quality. When Doc was in charge, we didn't have these problems.
oddly enough, by random trips on I20 the last month, I have seen SEVERAL trucks carrying these several times delivering them to someone. open trailer with the these with the bushings just riding out in the open wind
We ain't much for green energy are we? Actually, we kind of are being light on coal. We really don't have the resources for a lot of wind, hydro or even solar power.
Tunica is about to have the tallest wind turbines in the US in the next few months and most of my projects are solar interconnections. It's a huge scam but the government money is just too good.
Bushings are installed when transformer is received on site for Entergy
This is true for a new transformer or ones being scrapped. With the bushings installed you run into height limitations on the route. They will arrive onsite, dress them out (bushings, radiators and cops tank) and fill them with oil. Some utilities have old transformers fully dressed strategically located. Now they have mobile emergency substations to deploy for temp. supply during natural disasters and emergencies.
