Re: pole transformer damage?

Chris,  I'm sure your pole pig is fine. They are
generally mounted at 3 points inside the tank
case via threaded bolts, so a simple "tipover"
isn't likely to do any damage. Falling 40 feet from a pole due to an auto crash into pole/
tornado, hurricane, ect. may be a different story ;^)

Hi All,
My pole transformer was knocked over accidentally yesterday... The bushings are intact and no oil leaked out, but I'm wondering if the core may have broken off its mountings. I know some of you have actually modified your transformers and I would like to know if you think this may have been damaged by being on its side. I have never seen the actual core except through the oil and so I don't know how it is mounted.... Thanks!
