There was a thread here a long time ago about people breaking into active electric transformers to steal the copper, usually with disastrous results.
bet they won’t do that again!...................
Right up the road in Warrington PA two tweakers, a boyfriend and girlfriend, tried to steal the copper from a transformer they though was shut down. The guy cut into live copper and proceeded to burn alive in front of girlfriend. She called 911. By the time the authorities arrived and PECO shut down the power he was nothing but a charred black mess.
Another one on people cutting off the charging cables at electric vehicle charging stations to sell the copper in them!
