Some causes for electrical
outages.
|
Lightning: |
Lightning searches for the tallest
object to serve as a conductor. When lightning strikes
electrical equipment, it causes loss of power. |
|
Ice/Snow: |
The build up of ice and snow can
break lines and also tree limbs that can fall and damage lines. |
| Wind: |
Severe wind can cause lines to
blow into tree limbs and causes interruptions. The wind can
also break tree limbs and cause them to fall on lines. |
| Animal
Contact: |
Small animals that climb on poles,
transformers and fuses can cause an interruption of power. |
|
Contractors: |
Digging by contractors can damage
underground electrical equipment. |
