Utility Develops Under Hung Busbar Concept As Step Toward New Substation Design
INMR featured an article about a new under hung busbar design developed and tested jointly by Transpower, the transmission grid operator in New Zealand, and Electropar, a local supplier of network hardware and components. According to Transpower engineers, this innovative concept offers significant benefits over conventional designs, including reduced land requirements as well as building costs, extended maintenance cycles and easier accessibility for repairs, among others.
INMR travels to the new Drury 220 kV switching station near Auckland to report on the first practical implementation of this system.
