Failure analy sis was conducted with a joint effort of LCRA and the Field testing conduc ted by LCRA demonstrated 50% loss of the component at 20 operations. Simil ar results were observed from a HV laboratory test conducted by Turner Ele ctric. IEEE std 1247-2005 section 8.3.1.8 test duty may not be adequate fo r what utilities need. LCRA mitigated the failure risk through maintenance practice revision\, procedure update\, and heavy-duty hardware implementa tion.\n- Investigation of inoperable 3WAY GOAB Transmission Switch concern s and LCRA’s new design solution overcoming the challenges. While the po pular 3 WAY GOAB Transmission Switches design offered by all major manufac turers may have a flaw that raises switch availability concerns and inoper able problems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Nick Choi\, \n\nAgenda: \nMixer/Food-Refresh ments/Sign-In: 6:00 PM to 6:45 PM\n\nProgram: 6:45 PM to 7:45 PM\n\nNetwor king: 7:45 PM to 8:00 PM\n\nBldg: Building R\, Lupe Tortilla\, 10515 N MoP ac Expy\, Austin\, Texas\, United States\, 78759\, Virtual: https://events .vtools.ieee.org/m/356839 LOCATION:Bldg: Building R\, Lupe Tortilla\, 10515 N MoPac Expy\, Austin\, T exas\, United States\, 78759\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/3 56839 ORGANIZER:eric.meier@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:High Voltage Line Investigations: "HV Switch Vacuum Interrupter Fai lure & HV 3WAY GOAB Switch Alternative” IEEE PI2 April Tech Meeting URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/356839 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">IEEE PI2 Austin\, April 25th\, 2023\, Tech Meeting via WebEx and In-Person 6 PM Cen tral / 7 PM Eastern at Lupe Tortilla off MoPac.</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li styl e="font-weight: 400\;" aria-level="1">\n<p style="font-weight: 400\;"><spa n style="color: #e03e2d\;"><strong><em>New Location: &nbsp\; &nbsp\;</em>< /strong><strong>Lupe Tortilla\, 10515 N MoPac Expy\, Austin\, Texas</stron g></span></p>\n<p style="font-weight: 400\;">Dinner (Fajitas) and soft bev erages will be provided for those with reservations.
