OREANDA-NEWS. Moscow United Electric Grid Company completes the planned work for reconstruction of 110 kV “Luzhniki” substation in the Stupino District of the Moscow Area. The actions are implemented within the framework of the program for grid connection of new customers to the company grid.

Extension to the existing indoor switchgear (IS) of 10 kV at the feeding center has been implemented to date through installing two mobile sandwich - panel buildings to accommodate 18 new cells of 10 kV. In the long term, this arrangement will provide the opportunity to create additional sections of IS without a long-term shutdown of electricity consumers.

The installed equipment is equipped with vacuum circuit breakers of domestic production of LLC “Tehenergocomplex”. Their use has a number of advantages in comparison with oil ones: high switching resource, reliability, fire safety, environmental friendliness. The advantages also include low operating costs, as well as the simplicity of the design, providing ease of use. To perform the functions of relay protection and automation, complete devices “TOP 200” of the research center “Bresler” were installed.

110 kV “Luzhniki” substation was put into operation in 1981. It provides electricity to all of the major social and industrial facilities of Stupino and the Stupino District. As a result of the reconstruction of IS, a new housing complex “Bolshoe Stupino” with the built up area of over 21 thousand square meters will be connected to electricity supply. Its infrastructure under the long-term plan includes shops, cafes, children's activity centers, home care facilities.
