The wait for the more specialized large power transformers (LPTs), which step up voltage from power stations to transmission lines, is up to four years. When a transformer fails from wear and tear, gets hit by a storm, or is damaged by war or sabotage, the inability to quickly replace it increases the risk of a power outage.
