In addition, it feeds four substations of 35/10kV in Kurchatovsky district: "Uspenka", "Greenhouses", "Kurchatovskaya" and the customer substation "Dredger".
The power engineers plan to repair 120 pieces of equipment at the substation "Atom City", affecting the reliability of the power facility, including - two power transformers of 25MVA each.
Experts of the branch will also repair oil receivers, relay protection and automation devices. All work is done by qualified maintenance personnel of the substation service of Kurskenergo. The substation repair completion is scheduled for July.
"The set of organizational and technical measures at the substation "Atom City" will provide protection, reliability and smooth operation of all electrical equipment of the substation at low temperatures, as well create conditions for reliable and stable power supply of residents of Kurchatov," stressed Deputy Chief Engineer - Head of High Voltage Grid Office of IDGC of Centre - Kurskenergo division Sergey Skornyakov.
