hi there, probably not the best site for this question but here goes. I live in an estate with approximately 250 modern houses. there is transformer in our street in a large grey box. so with nothing better to do on the weekend I had a wee peak (obviously I did not go inside it). Anyway I will describe what I a saw in the substation as best as I can in absence of a picture. On one side there were 2 large red cables ( I'm guessing the 11kv feed in and out from other substations?), a bare metal rod thing (earth mat underneath the substation), and finally 2 largish black cables on the other side of the transformer (415/240v) output?.
any I back to the question how are all these houses connected to this transformer?. Will those 2 black cable support all these houses?.
sorry if its confusing but thanks
