What's The Benefit Of Private Transformer? by tellsblinks(m): 8:22am On May 04, 2020 |
while strolling one evening I noticed something in my street, as small as the street is thier are not less than 6 private transformers with a general one that we all use. I observed the high tension producing the light to the transformers and noticed that the same line that enters the general transformers also goes to the private transformers I thought to myself if so then what's the need?? when at the end of everything we would all suffer the effect of no electricity. when I was younger I also thought that buying a transformer means no more nepa bill. but I saw organization paying millions as nepa bill even when they have thier own transformer please I really want to ask, what's the work of a transformer?? do public transformers have a remote control switch on them that nepa office use to on and off it when they like? Or do they off the high tension carrying light to that area? do all transformers on the same high tension cable have the same light? |

It's basically your own transformer, your own load. You still pay bills but you are not burdened with stories of low current or faulty transformer or no light because a fuse has to be changed bla bla. It's the same electricity feeding the other transformer that will also feed your personal transformer. If nepa take light, you sef no go get light. |

tellsblinks: First of all, if you have the money, it's not a big issue to buy a transformer. Then the problem of over loading a transformer does not apply to you which in turn means that your transformer will break down less often. Just think about all the problems of a spoilt transformer that has ever happened on your street and then think about how long it took to get fixed, always contributing money to fix a faulty transformer Etc. I would own one if I can. |

Akunwafor: my transformer last broke down almost 8years ago since then till now no complaint that warrants them coming to demand for money surprisingly any small challenge is fixed without disturbing any body and it doesn't even last a day the only problem we are facing is that nepa purposely don't like giving us light. |
