Has to be my last christmas shutdown project, when I still worked for the largest elec. contractor in the U.S., I ran an inhouse account at a near by smiconductor plant.
Had to replace old buss from detached u.p.s. bldng.whith 36" cbl. tray. Cbl. tray was 360' run, ranging from 15' above ground, to 40' above ground were it went into the plant,& held 10 armored cbls., each one w/4-750mcm & 3#4's. Cbl. was 12lbs per foot, making each spool about 5000lbs.
Set 2 new 5000a $gear at each end w/tie brkr.
Had a 18hr window (christmas day) to coordinate 27 men, do all the terminations & switch over to get plant back into production before Dec.26.
Everything went unbelievably well, switched over to new feeds, flipped tie brkrs (no explotions, allways kinda nervouse testing that two power source closed tie brkr. theory). Rapped up a $550,000.00 job, no one got hurt,& no production lost.
I would like to add this was only made possible by the best group of dedicated electritions a superintendant could ever ask for, I GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO THEM.
