The Transformers for the Lady.
You'll see a transformer set like this near any large dragline or
stripping shovel.
A word of caution.
STAY AWAY.
You never know if the power is
still on to a substation or transformer. They may even still have
power to the machine for maintenance or lighting. Those cables may
have anywhere between 7200 volts and 30,000 volts running through
them. Since they are dragged around as the machine moves, they become
knicked and cut from being pulled across sharp rocks and contact with
machinery in the area.
When the ground is damp, it's
very possible to be shocked or killed without even touching the cable itself.
