Narrative

The main mine transformer lost power due to two blown fuses on the buried feeder cable to the transformer. These fuses are located on Morton's pole directly below the overhead disconnect switch. This feeder cable supplies 34.5kv voltage tracked through the porcelain insulator of the fuse holder to the steel mount bracket.
