Summary of Work Manually-operated line disconnect switches and their respective ground switches will be replaced with new motor-operated disconnect switches and new motor-operated ground switches of the same ratings. A new 125VDC circuit will be extended to each new pair of disconnect/ground switch motor operators from the main unit auxiliary panels in the generator bays. Remote control of these line disconnect switches and grounding switches will be provided in the Control Room in a new control panel. Three sets of bus potential transformers (PT's) for the BPA lines will be replaced with new PT's of the same class and ratings, including replacing their existing wiring to the SCR boards in the Control Room. Three sets of surge arresters for the BPA lines are to be provided and connected to the 115kV bus sections, including Contractor-designed support structures for mounting the arresters on the Transformer Deck. Modifications must be provided to one of the 115kV bus sections involving cutting out segments of the 3" tubular aluminum bus and fitting them with straight tube-to-tube connectors for reinstallation after sectionalizing switch has been replaced. This is to provide a present and future means to isolate a switch for replacement and maintenance while leaving Line 1 and station service energized. All new switch motor-operators are to be operable from the switch operator as well as remotely operable from a new remote control panel to be provided in the Control Room SO5 board, including indication of switch position. Ground switches and line switches will be mechanically interlocked at the switch operators and at the remote control panel to prevent accidental grounding of an energized line.
