| Project Description | One-Two Sentences This project serves to enhance the University's
response to unplanned electrical distribution outages
amongst the three substations that supply UNC's campus.
The three substations serving the campus are Cameron
Avenue, Manning, and South. The planned upgrades will
allow the University to restore power more quickly and
improve the resiliency across campus.
This project will require creating approximately 2,500
linear feet of new duct bank and primary cabling
arrangements totaling approximately 16,500 linear feet,
along with switchgear and smart protective relays that
communicate with the Electrical Distribution Systems SCADA
system.
A secondary goal of this project is to replace two General
Electric 15 kV Powervac Vacuum Switchgears with two Arc
Flash Resistant, 15 kV, 3000 Amp continuous, and 40 kA
interrupting rating Switchgears located at the Cameron
Substation. These replacement switchgears shall maintain
hardwiring controls integration with the Cogeneration
Systems Plant and communication controls interface with the
Electrical Distribution Systems SCADA system. | |||||
