I live in Market Weighton and I need to know why my local electricity transformer is. Where will I need to look?
For residential, the step down transformer for home electricity use is typically a pole top mounted transformer. It may be at the top of a power pole near your residence. Sometimes there may be a pad mount transformer (square metal box) near your home that is used. You may want to look outside your home, and see where the wires coming into your electrical service are coming from. That should tell you where the transformer is. If you live in a newer neighborhood, you may have underground service ( thus no power poles) and the transformer may not be visible. It would likely be close by in an underground electrical vault. There is a picture of a pole top transformer in the attached article below:
