Contributing factors

Lessons learned
- A transformer explosion can kill someone working at or near the equipment, so isolation and a clear exclusion zone matter before work starts.
- Early reports often omit the site, operator and cause, so operators should treat the first account as incomplete and update the record when a fuller source appears.
- Emergency plans for transformer failure should cover a fatal outcome, not only an outage.
