A Small Electrical Substation

Worrying that his test equipment includes a hand-thermometer.
Ground_Loop:
Is it implied that the anemically turning fan is the power source?
AlbertL:
Now that's what I call a microgrid!
Quite a creative project, but it's not clear to me just what its purpose is, and the reporter obviously didn't have the technical background to understand and explain it. It looks like a scale model to demonstrate operation of a power distribution system. It's hard to tell if those miniature transformers and other components actually work or if they're just replicas.

No, they said it is fed by an oil burner (I assume a steam or thermoelectric plant or something somewhere). I assume this was not on at the time and batteries were used (or it only ignites when the batteries are low, but that wouldn't be practical for a steam plant).
