Tower Busway Base of Tower Switchgear Grid-Connection Switchgear Busway Low Voltage Switchgear Medium Voltage Switchgear Metal enclosed switchgear with ratings up to 38kV Metal-enclosed frontaccessible with 5 and 15kV ratings with 1200 and 2000A breakers. Substation Transformer The Cutler-Hammer Pow-R-Way III low voltage busway system (225 5,000 amps), combines the requirements of NEMA, UL, IEC and CSA into one design The low voltage switchgear protects electrical equipment rated at 600VAC or below using Magnum DS air power circuit breakers Transformer MCCB The medium voltage switchgear is used to couple the tower's power generation to the collector distribution system. This switchgear is built to the ANSI C37.20.2 standard which provides the highest level of safety and reliability in the market Substation style transformers typically close-couple to other protection equipment, such as switchgear Substation Circuit Breakers Eaton Corporation introduces a new and compact 38kV medium voltage circuit breaker, VCP-Wi. With industry leading vacuum and solid insulation technology. Eaton s VCP-Wi help you manage power reliably, efficiently and safely with a footprint 30% smaller than Eaton s current 28kV VCP-W offering. Metering and Monitoring The series G family of Molded Case Circuit Breakers provide high performance branch circuit protection for step-up transformers at the base of tower and ancillary loads in the nacelle. Substation style transformers typically close-couple to other protection equipment, such as switchgear Power Xpert Monitoring Power Xpert is a sophisticated remote metering and monitoring solution that tracks and communicates the energy output in wind farms 9

Services for transforming wind into reliable power Substation construction Maintenance Eaton Electrical Services and Systems engineers can assist you with installation, commissioning, maintenance, retrofit upgrades and turnkey substation construction. Our large field service team can offer ongoing service contracts to complete maintenance, as well as remote monitoring of critical failure indicators of electrical equipment. Immediate alarms are dispatched, while periodic trending recommends maintenance and inspection cycles. Retrofit upgrades Arc flash and power system studies As wind farm equipment matures, wind farms owners choose to replace key components at scheduled intervals. Eaton s field service team can replace electrical equipment, at the base of the tower, and substation components as needed. Safety and performance are key issues for wind farm owners. Eaton s field service team provides arc flash studies to ensure safety of the electrical equipment at the base of the tower. Eaton can also conduct power system studies to verify electrical output performance. 11
