April 15, 2019The proposed action upgrades power to meet for experiment usage at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL). The proposal adds 1.5 megawatts of electrical power capacity to the D100 Laboratory High Bay. The scope includes upgrading a utility transformer outside the building as well as 480-volt (V) distribution equipment inside the building. Idaho Falls Power will install a transformer supplying the additional capacity, distributed to two new Integrated Power Centers (IPCs) in the D100 Laboratory High Bay. IPC size meets future needs in the D100 Laboratory High Bay without overloading the feeder conductors.
