Braced line posts have enabled compact transmission lines in the voltage range of 115 kV to 230 kV. Now line compaction is being considered at progressively higher voltages (EHV range) to develop structures with better visual amenities, smaller foot print, narrow right-of-way requirements and the economic benefits of lighter construction.

However, at 345 kV and above voltages as the section lengths increase due to electrical requirements, the mechanical capabilities of standard braced line posts with typical components becomes a limitation. The low working performance restricts span lengths and increase overall project cost and construction efforts.

The simplest insulator system for compact transmission line construction is a composite horizontal line post. However, line post insulators are limited in their vertical loading capabilities and thus cannot support longer spans or heavier conductor systems. Composite braced line posts are designed for applications similar to a line post but with an added suspension 'brace' insulator to significantly increase the vertical load capacity of the assembly.

Should a transformer’s cooling system fail unexpectedly, you might find yourself looking for a quick-swap, temporary solution to bring your transformer back online and restore power to your customers.

Trantech Radiator Products’ latest addition to cooling solutions is the Mobile Auxiliary Cooler (MAC). Offering a range from 40 to 215kW of cooling capacity per unit with 3-stage capability (ONAN, ONAF and OFAF).

When a power outage occurs, leaving customers without electricity, a single technician can restore power in a timely manner with SNC’s temporary power restoration device, RESTORE-LITE®.

Small and lightweight, RESTORE-LITE® restores meterable power to a single home or business within minutes, allowing a cable technician or lineperson to schedule permanent repairs at a more convenient time.

Valmont® Utility poles stand as a testament to the value of spun concrete. But the power of spun concrete poles isn’t just in their ability to resist extreme elements. Lower prices, simple installation, virtually no maintenance concerns and line sizes up to 345 kV (single or double circuit) make spun concrete a nearly perfect pole material.

Switching shunt reactors located on the transformer tertiary can impose a severe duty on the connected system, switching device, and shunt reactor. Due to the relatively small inductive current, the interrupting device attempts to clear at a forced current zero causing current chopping. If the interrupter’s contacts have not separated enough to sustain the system voltage, a re-ignition of the arc will occur. These high magnitude and high frequency re-ignitions can shorten the life of the reactor and the switching device.

The Southern States CapSwitcher®, a capacitor switching device specifically designed to meet the power quality needs of today’s electrical systems, has become a prefered switching method for medium and high voltage capacitors. This special purpose SF6 capacitor switcher is available for application on single bank or back-to-back banks. Its closing resistors provide transient mitigation to minimize the detrimental effects of voltage transients, including voltage magnification, on sensitive equipment such as computers, CNC machines, and variable speed drives.

Verifying proper blade depth and rotation of a high voltage disconnect switch closure has created challenges for ground level operators. Southern States MACI® introduces patented magnetic technology to provide highly-visible, foolproof indication of a proper switch closure. By providing this assurance, the potential for unwanted costs associated with unplanned power outages is minimized. Additionally, MACI®’s reflective “closed” pattern provides visibility up to 100 ft and will not interfere with operation, even in icy conditions.

For unique transmission application challenges, Southern States offers specialized solutions. Substation in the Sky is a totally customized application, addressing system protection, sectionalizing, and isolating needs of our customers. Equipment can be tailored to meet a wide range of applications. The Substation in the Sky offers the ability to monitor, communicate system information, and switch transmission lines and taps. When space is at a premium, Southern States can engineer a more economical solution than the traditional practice of building a small substation.

Leveraging our partnership with various ISO certified transformer manufacturers, Southern States has the resources to design or retrofit mobile substations that can be outfitted with Southern States’ or your preferred switchgear brands.
