Canada US eastern grid study pins blackout cause
Harold Smith of Ontario Hydro explained the Niagara Falls Sir Adam Beck plant trigger caused a relay trip after a minor transformer adjustment. Power rerouted to five lines overloaded them and blacked out Ontario in one tenth of a second. The surge into the US helped spark a continental blackout. Additional relays and adjusted settings were added under Northeast Power Coordinating Council studies. Farm assets total 230 billion, about two thirds of all corporate current assets.
