Rob:

I viewed the video after waiting for a few minutes. I have some more that actually show some vault type transformers, but they appear to be too large to view . I will try to bring with me to the next meeting (11/30-12/1/11) if anyone wants to watch.

Regards, Chuck Simmons

Chuck,

Thanks for the information. I saw the video. Still trying to figure out how to download the file.

I’ve uploaded one short video clip showing a v acuum switch in a vault and a few pictures to the SharePoint site / “Shared Documents” folder. I’ve got some more videos, but can’t get them uploaded (the SharePoint site stops the upload due to the si ze or time required to upload). If anyone wants to see these videos, I could bring to the next meeting.

Also, as another option, if people have photos of network installations that could be shown to the group....

Like I said, I would be happy to contact PEPCO if people would like.

Richard, Wes, and others,

I agree with Richard and wouldn’t want to take up the whole committee’s time with this, but if this field trip is something that can be done dur ing lunch, or maybe before the meeting starts, it might be useful, particularly as we can also use that time to discuss th e definitional criteria. There certainly is a lot that I don’t know about these units, and if the manufacturers believe that this would be a good opportunity to clear up so me misconceptions, I’m happy to wake up early for this.

-Tim

I would be interested in the Advocates take on this. Though i am naturally curious, my gut instinct is that field trip idea is worth pursuing iff physically s eeing the unit will help us write the specification. otherwise our incr edibly scarce time might be better spent on writing the spec and the sub-standard.

PEPCO is the electric distri bution company that serves Washington DC. I can send an email or make a call to see if they would be able to arrange a visit (however, there are probably strict security and safety protoc ols that would have to be followed).

Hi BobYour suggestion that we might try to have the committee look a network feeding one of our meeting locations is quite good.

I have copied Richard and some others to see if they have an interest.

================== ========== Suggestion from Bob Smith:

"One stupid idea: I suppose that at least one of our next meetings will be in a building served by a network transforme r. More than likely I could get someone from the local utility to open a sidewalk vault and go over th e components in the vault needed to supply uninterruptible power to our building."

================== ==========
Best regards Wes
