Proposal

Proposed to install a new totem pole (shown as two red dots connected by a red line on the attached plan) to fit a 200kVA 11kV three phase transformer to be installed on the pole with 315A LV fuses fitted. Due to the location of pole 94, an existing pole is to be relocated (the existing pole to be removed is shown as a blue dot on the plan). LV pole 94 is to be replaced with a steel pole (shown as a red dot on the plan) located in the soft dig area clear of the planned junction… Data via plota.co.uk
