Question:

House near a polyphase transformer?

I am in a verge of purchasing a house that is located very adjacent to a polyphase transformer. I hear of the stories that say about the adverse effects that are caused by these transformers to various electronic goods that are there in the house. Please clarify.

Answer:

Poly-phase transformers which are merely 3-phase transformers don't really cause anymore interference than any other transformer. If the thing was up against your wall, then maybe it would mess with radio or cell phone communications, but really your main interference concerns would be if you were near high voltage transmission lines. Why not ask the previous owners or neighbors in the area if this transformer has interfered with their electronics.I doubt it.
