Construction works on new power center of electrical substation PS 35/10 Lenta

Branch office of Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Applied Technologies in Kislovodsk, which won the tender on new power center of electrical substation PS 35/10 Lenta (35, 10 kV overhead line) construction, is carrying out works on the site.

Power supply of Lenta substation is performed by tapping from 35 kV overhead line located at the short distance from the substation. The newly constructed tap from 10 kV overhead line F-103 of substation “Inozemtsevo-2” is being used as a backup powering station (technological connection agreement entails the second category of power supply).

New modern equipment was used for substation PS 35/10 kV construction, such as vacuum auto recloser 35 kV and unit OPU/ZRU-10 kV, which is a prefabricated block-modular building completed with substation integration module KRU-10 kV with vacuum switchers, telemechanic and connection equipment, relay protection and automatic produced on the basis of micro processing protection.

Last year, within the framework of the technological connection agreement of new mall’s power supply design, estimate documentation for substation 35/10 kV construction with power transformer 6,3 MVA installation was elaborated.

Since work start in September of the last year and for the moment, construction has been fully completed, erection of 1.7 km total length of aerial lines 10 kV and installation works have been finished. Currently commissioning activities, preparation works for improvement of substation site and access road are in progress.

New facility will not only supply power to “Lenta-44” trade center but also increase security energy supply to nearby settlements such as Borodynovka.

Facility completion deadline is scheduled to the end of April 2016.
