Transform Big, Close and Wet Close-coupled, liquid-filled, indoor unit-substations save money. High efficiency Biodegradable, high flashpoint fluid Integrated primary & secondary protection Dual primary selection
Transform Big, Close and Wet Hardened data center (HDC) transformers are the most reliable. High primary impulse levels with both insulation and wire spacers Incorporated protection CTs Welded and braced secondary leads Immersed vacuum fault interrupters and source selection switches Immersed tap changers

liminating Stranded Capacity What Is Stranded Capacity? Future capacity earmarked for growth is NOT stranded capacity. Red-lined portion of capacity is NOT stranded capacity. Unit A Unit B A B Dual-Corded Load Stranded capacity IS the unused capacity of one system which is not available to serve another system s load. Stranded capacity cannot be eliminated by simply deferring equipment deployment. 1 2 Reserved capacity for redundancy is NOT stranded capacity.
