Description
During recent refurbishment works to Fareham Borough Council's "Ferneham Hall Theatre, Arts, and Entertainment Centre" the transformer supplying the theatre was found to have an internal half rated neutral. Probable high neutral currents caused by the harmonic effects of the theatre's event LED stage lighting could cause the transformer to overheat and fail therefore the transformer is to be replaced with a new similarly rated transformer with a full size/rated neutral.
