After explosions, Brazil power transmission companies remove GE equipment

SAO PAULO - After an unusual number of explosions, several Brazilian power transmission companies have started removing a piece of equipment made by General Electric Co , a blow for GE’s Brazil unit as it battles competing suppliers from China and India.

Brazil’s grid operator ONS recommended replacing GE’s CTH-550 transformer model after registering 53 explosions, as Reuters exclusively reported in January. ONS said then that the equipment showed “a failure rate that is superior to what is expected” for such a device.

Aha, and they said huawei has a back door for the Chinese, suffice to say GE have backdoors for the CIA? Remember Venezuela, Russia?

Every GE appliance I’ve ever owned broke down, so.
