Y-WEA/HEA/MCREA Mobile Substation Repair
A few years back, the mobile substation jointly owned by Y-W Electric Association, Inc. in Akron, Colorado, Highline Electric Association in Holyoke, Colorado, and Morgan County Rural Electric Association in Fort Morgan, Colorado experienced problems during routine testing. We took it to General Electric's transformer repair facility in Denver, Colorado and were able to find out that several parts on two of the de-energized tapchanger selector switches had become loose over several years of bouncing along over rural Northeastern Colorado roads and had jammed. Visit the Mobile Substation Page to see the pictures of the mobile substation while the core and coils assembly was untanked and being repaired.Critters in Bad Places
Every now and then in this business, you get to have a look at the raw power that electricity has when it gets out of control. This raccoon learned that the hard way while presumably looking for food in Y-WEA's Akron Substation. Please be advised that the photos in this series are not for the faint of heart!About My Work
My work for Highline Electric Association as the contracted System Engineer for Y-W Electric Association, Inc. has been very rewarding over these past twelve years. As you can see above, I have been able to be involved in projects that cover a wide range of subjects, some of which are quite interesting.
