We recently had a transformer blow in our neighborhood and now my 3 year old is asking me how it works and I honestly don’t know. Can anyone electrical transformers?

A transformer is basically a bunch of coils that convert one AC voltage to another, based on the output side having a different number of coils than the input side.
Neighborhood transformers “blow” because they use a whole lot of mineral oil as a cheap coolant, so when they suffer a catastrophic failure, the coolant burns/explodes.
