Subject: 11/09 LV Meeting: Change to 11:15 am start time tomorrow; Updated analysis 

Dear Colleagues on the Low Voltage Working Group:

Greetings. For those newly arriving I hope you had a safe and pleasant trip to DC. 

Attached for your review is the revised Engineering Analysis for Low-Voltage Transformers with 

updated scatterplots and simplified price-efficiency curves based on the input Navigant has only recently 

received. LBNL is running the LCC/PBP analysis as we speak and should have it to you later this 

evening. The notice is short, we realize. It required a Herculean effort for the analysis team to get this to 

you before the meeting at all given when the data was received and their workload. So I appreciate their 

efforts and your understanding. Hopefully, we can assimilate this new and improved information quickly. 

The good news is you will have a little more time to digest the analysis before the LV meeting begins. It 

turns out that the Medium Voltage Group got through liquid immersed yesterday but not Medium Voltage 

Dry. So we would like to hold the discussion of the MV group on MVDT tomorrow from 9-11, and then 

commence the LV discusions with the LV group at 11:15. For low-voltage manufacturers, this will give 

you additional time to examine the analysis in the morning 

Because some of the issues in MV also apply to LV you may find it helpful to sit it on the MV meeting 

and you are welcome to do so, if so inclined. Or you may prefer to examine the LV results elsewhere. 

Your choice. 

You will also be receiving very shortly an invitation to the Sharepoint Site hosted by Navigant -- a central 

site at which you can find in one place the latest analysis and discussion, including the documents you are 

receiving now. 

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 11:15 at the announced venue, 950 L'Enfant Plaza, Rm. 6097‐

6098. 

Best wishes, 

Richard Parker 

Facilitator 

And then turn to a discussion of low-voltage at 11:15. As those on the given over the past As 

you know, Navigant staff have very recently received a lot of helpful feedback from this group 

on the LV Engineering Analysis and have been working hard to incorporate it into a refined 

Engineering Analysis. That Analysis has been completed and is attached Attached for your 
review is the revised enAs those in the MV meeting today are aware we made as much progress 

as we could on Liquid Immersed but were not able to
