Wheat Belt Public Power District
Wheat Belt Public Power District is upgrading the substation power transformer at the Dalton Transmission substation. The old transformer was built in 1971, at a cost of around $125,000.00. The new transformer was ordered December 2008 from Delta Star Transformer Company with the delivery date of around October 1, 2009.... Cost of the transformer was $844.665.00 with additional crane and labor fees on top of that.
On October 5, 2009, crews switched the power lines to feed from different substations and started to dismantle the old transformer. On October 7, 2009 Stettner’s crane service removed the old transformer and set the new transformer in place.
A crew from Electrical Technologies will start assembling the new transformer on October 12, 2009. Wheat Belt plans to have the new transformer in service by October 23, 2009.
The Dalton Transmission Substation serves 6 other substations with approximately 1,268 meters.
