Electrical Engineering Experience
We design better
Everyone expects electrical power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Customers lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a day if a plant is off-line due to an electrical interruption. KTR’s electrical engineers understand a client’s expectations and provide expertise in keeping your facility on-line.
Indoor 35 kV Metalclad Switchgear
Responsible for the engineering design of electrical systems to support a new 34.5 kV substation. Project consisted of the physical construction of installing new conduit, trays, vaults, duct banks and cable to the new 34.5 kV outdoor switchgear. Project included modifications to local utility's metering, SCADA, protective relaying, interlocking and monitoring and control circuits. Detailed scope/ sequence documents were developed to allow work to be performed with no plant outages and with minimal time duration of operation on a single incoming service. Performed load studies, short circuit studies, and protective device coordination study.
Upgraded 230 kV Substation Yard
Responsible for the design, specification, and commissioning support for the installation for two new 60 MVA transformers. Design included new circuit switchers on the 230 kV side and 115 kV low side bank breakers. Relay settings were provided for GE microprocessor-based relays (transformer differential, bus protection, transmission line protection, etc.). All schematic and interconnection drawings were created for this vendor.
New Outdoor 35 kV Substation Yard
Responsible for the design, specification, and construction for a 34.5 kV metalclad switchgear unit and associated building. The initial step included developing the specification and providing the proper engineering. All schematic and interconnection drawings were created for the client. All microprocessor-based relay settings were developed along the associated TCC curves, short circuit, and an arc flash study. The job also included commissioning/ construction support during the installation phase.
