Summary[edit]

Description
English: Turbine Base and Transformer of Tower No 24. When the towers are built the transformer and other electrical equipment is

installed onto the concrete base before the bottom section of the tower is lifted into position. Here at Turbine No 24 this picture was taken moments before the bottom tower section was lowered on to its base. The transformer is needed because the electricity produced by the turbine is alternating current, AC with a variable frequency which cannot be handled by the national grid therefore the transformer converts it into direct current, DC. then back to a constant AC frequency for transmission to the national grid for consumer use. You can see the two circular rows of securing nuts and bolts are all in place ready to secure the tower section to the ground. 696211 633643 696917 696963 687214 798090
