Overview • What is Porter Farms P.D.? • Preliminary Designs • Loop System • Specifications • Calculations • Cost Analysis • Project Summary
Porter Farms P.D. • Consists of 2 Areas • Area 1, Subdivision with 69 lots • Area 2, Apartments with 52 units, plus 1 clubhouse • Located in Collierville, TN
Project Stages • Stage 1 • Develop Area 2, Apartments • Stage 2 • Develop Area 1, Subdivision
Existing Power Sources 3Ø 1Ø 3Ø
Design 1 – Two UG Loops BORE UNDER RAILROAD
Design 1 (cont’d) BORE UNDER THE STREET
Design 1 (cont’d) • Advantages • Feeds are from the closest sources • No tree trimming/removal required • Problems Encountered • Railroad approval takes at least 90 days • Minimum railroad crossing fee of $75,000
Design 2 – Two UG Loops NEW 1Ø OVERHEAD LINE LAKE
Design 2 (cont’d) • Problems Encountered • Crossing fee and approval from Railroad company required • City of Collierville and the homeowner’s association objected to the design • Involves tree trimming/removal
Design 3One UG Loop UNDERGROUND PRIMARY TEMPORARY OVERHEAD LINE
Design 3 (cont’d) BORE UNDER THE STREET
Design 3 (cont’d) • Advantages • No railroad fee or approval required • No tree trimming/removal • Problem Encountered • Cost of $10,000 for the temporary electric
UG Single Loop • Calculated Loads • Apartments = 525kVA • Subdivision = 775kVA • Total = 1300kVA • MLGW Requirement • Maximum load = 1320kVA
