At 40 second mark in the video I just posted about my transformer blowing, I thought this shot was very interesting and i'll write out the explanation for this "shockwave" effect. Never seen it, never knew it!
"Transformers are designed to handle and regulate electrical loads, but during a power surge or short circuit, the excess energy can cause disturbances, leading to what you observed as a "ripple" or shockwave in the surrounding air. This ripple is sometimes a visible effect caused by the sudden release of energy, forming a shockwave that disturbs the air or even creates small vapor clouds."
