Care to tell the class what is in substations?

Inferior stations.

No those are easily replaceable, power loss would only last for a few hours. The easiest way to destroy a transformer is through heat, a fire around a transformer that size would boil all the oil out of it and completely destroy the entire substation until they replace the whole transformer and everything else that blew apart in the accident.

No. The oil is stationary and is only there as an insulator/cooling system. Nothing moves the oil. Those coils you see on top are simply ceramic insulation surrounding the electrical connection. Not really that crucial to the system. Those “boxes” are most likely the coils of wire that makes the heart of the transformer. That’s the part you would see popping like fireworks if the unit overheats and the safeties all fail. The center part between the rows of boxes is probably the iron core, something you won’t need to bother with. The coils of wire in the boxes is the main target.

Not a Transformer dipstick.

What is it then?

There will be a lot of transformers jokes in the comments but let me assure you that safe and reliable delivery of electricity is no laughing matter.
