This metal-clad equipment incorporates the levels of quality and precision to be utilized to provide medium voltage power
distribution for the second largest telecommunications facility in the world, which supports worldwide voice and data
communications traffic. The electro-mechanical overcurrent and directional overcurrent relays were utilized to match the
existing 1960’s era devices that were already in service in an adjacent switchboard, partially manufactured by W.A. Benjamin
Electric Co. The existing and new switchboard controls were retrofitted with solid-state control relays that were developed
for the application of medium voltage breaker control interfaces with distributed PLCs. The load acquisition controls for
the twenty-three medium voltage transfer breaker pairs utilize our proprietary “Look Ahead” technology. This programming
method uses static or dynamic data exchanges to determine whether the generation capacity is able to support the addition
of another load.
