That use of heaters must have happened before.

Ain't that a real hoot. You should see them blow up in a hurricane.

P.S. Its March in Nevada.

You would think that it would be impossible for a transformer to be glowing
red and not have exploded or taken itself out in some way.

Not a transformer exploding, arcing, etc, but of one that is on a pole
just glowing red. The cooling fins were glowing red, that's what the poster
said. Let's see those pics, you said it's not uncommon, so.....

Not when most dont notice them getting hot enough

He didnt say glowing red during the day.

I see, so these alleged glowing orange hot transformers are now
smart transformers and they only glow when not to be able to capture
a picture? How very logical. Your ignorance hole grows ever deeper.
But heh, show me some pics and then I'm sure we'll all believe....

Senile or just totally stupid? But if they only glow orange hot at night,
which would really be something, show us your pictures of that. You said
it's not uncommon, so with billions of pole transformers and billions of
cell phones, there surely must be lots and lots of pictures of this
happening. If I saw it, I'd damn sure take a pic, whether day or night.

So show us pictures of a pole transformer glowing orange, I'll take that,
big man.

I take that to mean you have no pics, just BS as usual spewing from
your hole of ignorance.

I take that to mean that you have no pics of your magical glowing, orange hot,
transformer on a utility pole. Where are they? You said it's not uncommon.
Billions of transformers, billions of smart phones and no pics or videos?

I'm surprised the transformer fuse didn't blow and shut power off to
it.

Don't stand under it. They are really designed to run until they
explode. The upstream fuse may be too big tho. It was what he had on
the truck.

Hey :-)

I was searching a 1940 Federal Census. Ancestor worked under the New
Deal works project. Common jokes were "We Poke Around" others like it.
That year he made $740.00 and owned his home valued at $600.00.
