First look in substation

Just before all the self isolation and not being closer  than 6 foot to anyone else I had a chat with a couple of DNO engineers who were doing insulation tests on the  HV cables going to/from a sustation at the end of the road the 11Kv cables are tested at 15 Kv to Earth not sure if they used AC or DC. Another thing was the that I never realised just how big the fuse holders for the outgoing LV cables are I asked what size the fuses were and they told me they were 400 amps. I was just being nosey but it's interesting to me to see just where my juice comes from which is a rather scruffy 500 KVA transformer

  • I, one of my daughters and one of my granddaughters are all somewhere on the Autistic spectrum as are/were my father, mother and brother (only my father and I are/were electrical engineers ?). The syndrome is somewhat different in males and females and is rarely diagnosed in girls. We found this book helpful, both for understanding what is going and helpful suggestions for coping:

    Other suppliers exist.


    A label is not always a bad thing if it allows you to understand and use some of the benefits of being an Aspi and avoiding some of the pitfalls.
