Scope
Michels Power, Inc. completed the removal of a 115kV oil circuit breaker and replaced it with a new SF6 gas 115kV circuit breaker. Additionally, Michels Power, Inc. pulled new control cables to the circuit breaker, installed a new junction box in the yard and performed miscellaneous wiring changes inside the control building.
The project took place inside of an existing substation, so crews had to maneuver equipment around the structural members. The existing circuit breaker was removed using steel plates to slide it from its location.
