Electric Grid Enhancements Completed in the Mahoning Valley
Electric Grid Enhancements Completed in the Mahoning Valley
AKRON, Ohio, May 20, 2024 -- American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), has installed approximately 250 new insulators along a 22-mile section of a transmission line that runs through Mahoning and Columbiana counties in northeast Ohio. The new equipment will help ensure the electric grid remains reliable and resilient for approximately 1,500 Ohio Edison customers in the Mahoning Valley.
俄亥俄州阿克倫，2024年5月20日——FirstEnergy Corp.（紐約證券交易所代碼：FE）的子公司美國輸電系統公司（ATSI）已在貫穿俄亥俄州東北部馬霍寧縣和哥倫比亞納縣的22英里長的輸電線路段上安裝了大約250個新的絕緣子。新設備將有助於確保馬霍寧谷約1,500名俄亥俄州愛迪生客戶的電網保持可靠和彈性。
New horizontal post insulators were installed on the 69-kilovolt transmission line, which runs southwest from a substation in Boardman Township to a substation in Salem. Insulators separate high-voltage transmission lines from their grounded support towers and help maintain the safe and consistent delivery of power. The new insulators attach directly to the poles and eliminate the need for crossarms, which were removed.
這條69千伏的輸電線路上安裝了新的水平支柱絕緣子，該輸電線路從博德曼鎮的變電站向西南延伸至塞勒姆的變電站。絕緣體將高壓輸電線路與其接地的支撐塔隔開，有助於維持安全穩定的電力輸送。新的絕緣體直接固定在電線杆上，無需橫臂，而橫臂已被拆除。
Work to replace the insulators began in August 2022 and was completed in March. Several poles were also replaced as part of the $5 million project.
更換絕緣子的工作於2022年8月開始，並於3月完成。作爲這個耗資500萬美元的項目的一部分，還更換了幾根電線杆。
Carl Bridenbaugh, FirstEnergy's Vice President of Transmission: "This new, upgraded equipment will help prevent potential outages and ensure that our transmission system continues to serve customers safely and reliably in the future."
