Switch Construction. Wylie Switch is a 138kV, 3000A, 50kA rated Breaker and a Half Configuration built in 2014. A new large load is being constructed North of the station which requires that the existing station be upgraded and the 138 kV line from Ben Davis to Olinger be reconfigured and upgraded. The transmission line upgrade is not included in this scope and will be constructed under a different contract. Project will include the following additions and modifications: Add one new breaker and a half bay on the west side of the station. The existing Ben Davis to Olinger line that presently bypasses the station will be reconfigured to supply the new Mallard load by terminating in the new bay. The other terminal in the new line bay will supply the Ben Davis Station. A combo metering unit will be installed for the Mallard line. This new bay can start immediately as it does not require expansion to the West. Additional smaller expansions will also be required to the North and South to facilitate a new fence. Grounding modifications will also be required to integrate the new fence into the ground grid. (See ground grid modifications). The existing west and middle line bays will remain as they are. The line from Nevada, currently terminated in the easternmost bay, will be re-terminated in a new breaker and a half bay on the east side of the station. The OL-3 line will be transferred to the North Bus with a new breaker and the existing breaker on the South bus will remain in place for future loads to the South. Some existing high bus structures, switches, CVT’s and arresters will be relocated as shown on the drawings. Bus side switches for the future rung will be installed to facilitate the build -out of the future bay. The North and South buses will be extended to the new far east bay. All insulators on the North and South buses will be upgraded to high strength. Four (4), three-phase bus supports outside the North and South buses in existing bays 1 & 2 will be removed and twelve (12) new single-phase bus supports will be installed to increase the accessibility on the North and South sides of the station. Install steel structures and foundations as shown to support the new modifications. Install steel lightning shield structures as shown and expand shield wire as shown. Existing cable trench and associated lids will remain, but new HS-20 rated trench will be installed with Fibrelite lids. New vertical ducts will be required between the new termination cabinets in the enclosure expansion and the new section of cable trench.
