Every day across North America linemen are installing, operating and maintaining one way, two way and three way phase over phase transmission line switches. These are used to isolate and segment the system requiring switches that can break loop current and drop lines. These workers are on the front lines of the power grid, many expressing concerns with current transmission switch offerings that are often unreliable, difficult to adjust and install, require excessive maintenance and result in greater outage times for the utilities.

If you take a close look at the front cover of the latest issue of T&D World magazine, you will notice several QVARx capacitor banks as part of Seattle’s brand new and unique Denny Substation!

Denny Substation is built in downtown Seattle, not only having to meet expectations of safety and reliability, but noise and visual design as well. This unique substation stands out from the rest with a 44.000 square foot open area, quarter mile walking trail and off-leash pet park, while providing viewing opportunities of the substation and surrounding area.

The DVG-3 voltage transformer is designed for use with watt-hour meters, relays, and in other control applications. The unit consists of 1, 2, or 3 revenue metering accuracy voltage transformers, depending on the application. Primary and secondary connections are made using a wiring harness that connects to the connector provided on the voltage transformer.

The RITZ SIS Solid Insulated Bus Bar System especially offers for transmission of higher currents and/or limited space requirements a cost-effective and safe alternative to parallel-connected cable systems, metal-enclosed bus bar or bus duct systems.  The equipment produced plays an important part in power generation and power distribution. Therefore, highest demands are made with respect to industrial safety.
