Did Heathrow’s transformer explode

Shouldn’t Heathrow have two
Power supplies ?

I told them that Hantarex 250 was no good.

Just listening to a electrical engineer saying
“ normally you have two systems “.

1 for back up And also for when you service the other “?

Nothing that a cap kit wouldn’t fix 😄

On a serious note, seems crazy that a single electrical substation can shut down an international airport.
Don’t forget a lot of our imported goods comes through Heathrow.

At least potential terrorists now know how to bring the country down - all they have to do is hit a handful of easily accessed sub-stations at the same time and the country will be at a standstill…

They knew that anyway, when I used to work in central London at universities most of the buildings were wired in a ring from UK power networks, we occasionally had power cuts and faults but due to the ring just one part could be isolated and normal service renewed.

And all our critical stuff was covered by generators and UPS equipment, I would be shocked if Heathrow didn't have generators for critical kit.

But one thing is for sure, there will soon be backups in place very soon. I fell sorry for the people working there, must of been mayhem.
