The fellows replacing the insulator on the transformer serving my house showed me the fried insulator, a ceramic unit about 13" long and 6" in diameter. That strike blew the transformer on the pole it hit, fried everything that was connected to the line in the house nearby - whether it was on or not - and fried the well pump that was 200 feet down the well hole --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: DocsPlace.org Fidonet Since 1991 | QWK VIA Web / Telne (1:123/140) |
