Power Goes Out in Ravenwood Twice in One Week

Power went out in Ravenwood twice in one week. The cause was a blown transformer. The first time, last Tuesday, it was replaced with a used transformer. However, on Sunday morning around midnight, the used transformer blew, causing the power to go out again. The electricity flickered off in Sheridan, but came right back on. Evergy had to send a crew clear from Kansas City to work on the transformer, which arrived at 5:11 am that morning.

At first, the estimated restore time for Ravenwood was 2 pm that afternoon. But then the sourcing changed, pushing the restore time back to 5 pm. The restore time was then pushed back later because due to mud from recent rains, the new 30,000 pound transformer was a challenge to set. Service was restored to Ravenwood later that evening.
