Squirrel Damage

Will Elec
Hi Everyone,


Was at a job today where the client is looking to get their supply upgraded. I had a look at the current transformer to get an idea of its KVA and on inspection found that the earth conductors on both the HV and LV side of the transformer appear to have some squirrel damage to the insulation. Is this something I should get onto the DNO (Western Power) ASAP or is it not really a problem? Would appreciate some opinions!

    It's not ideal, but as long as there's no contact between the HV and LV earths (e.g. via that barbed wire) and the damage is out of reach, I don't see it being a significant problem.
