Transformation

Concord Power & Light took the entire Mattison Drive neighborhood offline this morning while they replaced several aging transformers. Pictured above is the one that will service our home.  High tension lines connect to the red terminals and split phase 220V is produced on the spatula-shaped terminals.  The planned outage was a nice test for our automatic emergency generator which kicked in and kept all our essential circuits up and running while the work was being completed.
