Pictures for John

[chris kennedy]

I didn't want to hijack the 'Medium Voltage' thread, but figured you would like to see these. This was a FPL (POCO) vault we took possession of. 13kv primary, 480y/277 secondary.

The FPL transformer was demoed along with their busses. Here is Al installing laterals for the new pad mount.

Slabbing the new gear.

And a bash Chris about safety pic.

Nice Chris,
Is this the job where you had to work out the extra lug situation?

No sir. This was service upgrade and add 1 meg generator.

How did you get possession of the transformer from them?

They kept the old transformer and supplied a new pad mount outside. We just took possession of the vault. How? $$$.:smile:

Very nice pictures. Looking at pictures 4 and 5 it looks like your going to have a busy area. Does Al work inside or only in trenches?:smile:

Thsi project looks like the perfect definition of "shovel ready"....

I hear they make machines for that type of work now.

Is that a set up? I'll pass.

Now this is a set up. Looks like a track hoe.

Every time you post these sand traps pictures it gets me that it looks like volcanic ash as opposed to sand!
What is the PH level of the soil, (probably off the scale to the acid side-MO) do you know, does it matter? I realize the salt air is enough for other consideration's. Can I assume that there a draw fan to vent this structure?

What if any other "Odd" applications are you required with the salty air, and that soil, gezz that stuff justs looks toxic...

I miss sand in my shoes...

What's the NEMA rating of the diet Pepsi can?:grin:

Opened or still closed?

What does the orange Caution sign say?

I hope whoever set that can on the transformer was wearing PPE or that it was de-energized at the time, looks awful close to some of those lugs..

Did I mention it was up hill the whole way?

And in both directions, too.
