Customer: Perm Energo Project: Perm - Tets-6 Location: Perm, Ural region, Russia Year Installed: 2010 Length:
Voltage: 110 kV
Solution: 3M ACCR 300-T16 - Ostrich
Results:
Increased ampacity from 450 A to 700 A to serve an expanded combined cycle power plant Used exiting rights of way to avoid logistical and permission issues in a crowded urban area
In cooperation with IDGC of the Ural, we have found the best power output option, which is cheaper and more effective by its implementation at the same time. It was very vital for us to timely receive lines with enhanced capacity, so network companies successfully managed this challenge and performed their obligations at a high-quality level and right on time, Andrey Vagner, First Deputy General Director of IES
