This project. is a fused, 69/25kV, 7.5 MVA substation.
Retrofits and Upgrades...
The 34kV and 12kV were on the same structure. Voltage was being upgraded to 69kV. We expanded the yard, Improved the ground grid, added containment, brought the transformer out from under the structure, added a high side structure, and relayed the substation.
This is a typical RUS substation that we retrofitted with relayed protection, adding a high quality, economical relay package, a motor to the 69kV air break switch and a transrupter.
