A substation explosion can trigger a major power outage, release plumes of smoke, and damage transformers. Learn what causes these incidents and how utilities can prevent them. A power transformer is an intermediate part between a generator and a distribution system and is vital. Understanding the reasons behind transformer failures is crucial for preventing such incidents and ensuring the safety and reliability of our power systems. Transformers can blow due to insulation breakdown, lightning strikes, oil leaks, or internal short circuits. These failures often cause loud. Electrical transformers in Canada have to survive 40°C winters, ice storms, and summer heat waves, tough work for a metal box that's often 30–50 years old. Something has to go very wrong, very fast.
