Is the utility pole at the end of the 3 feeders running out the top-right of this photo? You will see the 3 fuses which will be in the open position until they make the transformer "hot". Thanks for the update as transformer setting is an important milestone.
I should have included a picture of that. If my memory is correct, there are no fuses yet. In fact, it didn't look like there were any conductors to get the power down from the pole. The feeders were fastened to the pole and had only a short leader dangling from each one and those leaders were connected to nothing. I don't know the proper terminology. I have a BS in EE but I focused on high frequency stuff and never worked in transmission & distribution, so I don't know how to properly describe what I was looking at.
All attention should be on the conduit(s) coming out of the ground by the utility pole in picture 881559. Once those conduits run up the pole and feeders connected its on Tesla to "flip the switch".
Can we get a camera mounted there? I remember when on line cams were a thing. Now the idea just faded away...
Do this mean that an ETA for opening is more in the days, weeks, or months range?
Utility company needs to:
I seen the Utility and / or City inspector accompanying the heat up. Utility has to slam the cartridge fuses up the pole.
Each cabinet can only take 350 kVA input. 24 stalls would likely be on a 2000 or a 1750 (undersized).
I know most of the Houston area SC’s I’ve watched come online have 500 kVa per cabinet, which agrees with your statement as the utility company doesn’t run their equipment at 100% and 375 is 75% load from the 500 kVa transformers. I really ask because I’m curious how they will size that monster 48 stall SC in Temple.
