    A bit of redundancy would go a long way here. The locals don't complain enough so that just isn't going to be implemented. Until Filipinos learn to demand development we are going to be stuck with this setup. You can't really blame them, a large portion of the population can't even afford to notice when there is a brownout.

    What i have been asking for several years is:
    The NGCP 69kv system runs on steel towers (see above dwg).
    Each distribution utility has some wooden poles.

    If they are removing some wooden poles, WHY WHY must the entire 69kv system be shut down for a half million people when a properly designed / maintained / operational isolation system could allow 80% of "consumers" to remain with power, and ALL THE CREWS CONCENTRATING ON ONE AREA of wooden poles ????

    Or is that too complicated for the Distribution Utilities to coordinate. And anyone who says, "oh thats NGCP's problem" deserves to sit in the dark.
