He has found a couple of elbow arresters that needed to be changed <br /> because they were heating. This saved future outages. <br /> In December, the Security Systems Department had a total of 65 phone contacts, eight new <br /> systems quoted, 10 system sales made, 12 installs completed, 20 service calls made and seven <br /> personal visits. <br /> Meter Technicians continue with the meter reading, power bill, substation checks and off-peak <br /> issues. They were involved in taking down the Waco substation transformer for repair of the <br /> Load Tap Changer(LTC). They took the annual oil samples from the substation transformers for <br /> analysis of transformer conditions. <br /> The power plant staff did the monthly run of the generators (no issues). Steve and Jeff completed <br /> the directional boring projects for the season. <br /> I attended the Technical and Operations Conference in Saint Cloud December 4th through 6`h. I <br /> have attached the program for review of classes attended. It was another great conference. <br /> � PONEAEO B <br /> NATURE <br /> R¢liable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br />
