Residents throw rubbish everywhere, causing the transformer on fire, resulting in power outages in hundreds of residential areas. This happened frequently, what is the reason? then let Xiaobian take you to see how it happened.
On March 16, 2016, Wuhan Evening News reported that someone from 712 dormitory of Jianshe Avenue in Hankou threw garbage from the upstairs in a rainy dark day, the results are that the garbage was thrown onto the transformer, immediately causing the transformer burned. After the incident, power failure happened in a number of units in the yard. After they called the police, the police conducted an investigation on this, but no resident in 712 dormitory admit the responsibility. Yesterday morning, they asked the personnel of power supply company to repair, spending nearly ten thousand yuan.

The similar thing has occurred in Nanjing. In 2012, Zhongshan East Road, along the intersection from Hongwu North Road to the Daxing palace, suddenly large-scale blackout occurred. Nanjing power supply company's security equipment showed, power failure was due to a short circuit in the transformer. Repair personnel rushed to the scene and found that there were a lot of household garbage on the accident transformer, it is these garbage that lead to the short circuit of transformer, causing power outages. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning, the residents have returned to the normal power supply. Power companies reminds the public not to throw garbage from the sky onto the transformers and prohibiting to set off the fireworks around the transformer. These situations are easily lead to short-circuit of transformer and outages. Apart from repairing short-circuit transformer, the repair personnel also check the insulation of all the lines along the incident, to ensure the safety.

"Repair workers check the lines overnight until 4:00 in the morning and complete the detection. After confirming all the lines are safe, then they restored the power supply." repair staff told reporters.

Therefore, Baoding Zhongyi Electrical Material Manufacturing Co., Ltd. reminds the public, there are some connected thread ends, lightning rod and so on that are exposed on the transformer. When clutter falls on the transformer, it is easy to lead to short circuit. "First of all, we hope that residents living near the transformer do not throw clutter from the sky, second, after setting off the fireworks, the ribbons caused by fireworks may also fall onto the transformer and lead to short circuit. so hopefully the citizens don’t set off fireworks around the transformer.
