[QUOTE="jedishrfu, post: 5836191, member: 376845"] You'd have to estimate how long it would take a company like GE to build replacement equipment. Perhaps you can find information on how long it took to build the site initially and then that gives you an upper bound. My guess, it would take 6 months to reorder, replace, ship and install but I have nothing to justify it. Recent hurricane events might give you another estimate for how long it will take to replace the equipment in a flooded substation. NOVA did a show awhile back on the dangers of hacking the controls of a generator and I think they said it would take 6 months to replace the damaged unit after its destruction. The hack messed with the generator speeds causing it to run at a resonant frequency which tore it apart. You might even be able to ask an experienced electrician about how long it might take to order parts and repair it. Here's more from the NOVA show on Cyberwar where is say 6 to 9 months to replace it: [URL]http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/cyberwar-threat.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
