What causes the pole mounted transformers to blow-up? Shorts?

typically, when you look up at a transformer and see a big flash, hear a big boom, you are witnessing a circuit breaker trip. It is very rare that a
transformer "explodes." Doub't you have witnessed that.
Circuit breakers trip when load is too high or power surges. |
Thanks goat, I saw two of those and I did see what DENNIS described too. It burned brightly, CFE guys replaced it today. |
