Solution to figuring out if a transformer is good, well, energize it up, if it blows, guess its bad!

And thats coming from the prez of JCP&L, one of the guys at work knows him and asked why we lost power. I understand the overwhelming amount of people that need help and the limited resources, but everything I have heard indicates that JCP&L are struggling to do anything short of saying their doing all they can.

:shrugs:

Would have thought they would have plans for this stuff, find problem in this grid, fix problem, turn on grid, move on. Triage it if you want etc. God knows I pay for electric and would be nice if they spent that money on more than just keeping Bear employed :P
What leads me to believe it's a problem with JCP&L is last year's situation. PSE&G had more that twice the amount of people out of power and still beat JCP&L to 100% restored by a large margin.
