Mr. Trotter is very knowledgeable in relay panel design, relay setting calculations and relay testing and calibration. He has experience with electromechanical relays as well as microprocessor relays and PLC's. Mr. Trotter performs periodic system-wide, setting calculation, and relay testing of all substation relays for a number of clients.
Mr. Trotter is a Principal Engineer at Power Consulting Engineers. He is responsible for the scheduling and preparing of plans, drawings, and specifications for substation projects. He evaluates the bids, determines compliance with the specifications, and makes award recommendations. The finished projects are inspected by Mr. Trotter at on-site Final Inspections. Mr Trotter is very experienced in relay panel design, including microprocessor relays and PLC's.
Grande Dunes 115 - 12.47 kV Substation - Horry E.C.I., Conway, SC
Mr. Trotter is the project manager for the 115 - 12.47/7.2 kV
substation and is coordinating the project with Horry E.C.I and
Santee Cooper (115 kV supplier). The station will have a
circuit switcher on the high side, one 14 MVA transformer and
four circuits with bus regulation on the low side. Overcurrent
and differential relays will protect the station. The project
will include preparing final drawings, writing the contract and
specifications, biding the project, awarding the erection contract,
performing the final inspection, calibrating all relays,
performing functional testing of the protective systems and
placing the station in service in October 2000. Mr. Trotter
has completed six other Horry ECI stations, ranging in size from
14MVA to 56MVA, since 1991
Santee Electric Cooperative, Inc. - Kingstree, SC
Mr. Trotter evaluated all substation relay settings and made
recommendations for modifications. He tested and calibrated
all relays in 23 stations while making his recommended changes.
He performed functional tests of the existing protection systems
and corrected numerous problems that would have resulted in
mis-operation or no operation of the relay systems.
Cauthens 69 - 12.47 kV Substations; Lynches River Electric
Cooperative, Inc. - Pageland, S.C.
Mr. Trotter was project manager for this 69 - 12.47 kV substation
and coordinated the project with Lynches River E.C.I. and Santee
Cooper (115 kV supplier). The station has a circuit switcher,
one 22.4 MVA transformer and six underground
circuits with circuit voltage regulation.
Overcurrent and differential relays will protect the station.
The project will included preparing final drawings, writing the
contract and specifications, biding the project, awarding the
erection contract, performing the final inspection, calibrating
all relays, performing functional testing of the protective systems
and placing the station in service in August 2000.
Slappey Drive 115 kV Switching Station and 115 - 12.47 kV
Substation - Georgia Power Company - Atlanta, GA
Mr. Trotter was project engineer for this modification. The project
included all control design work for replacing three line protection
panels and three carrier panels with three new line panels with
microprocessor relays. The project also included the addition of a
Koyo DL-105 micro PLC to the existing capacitor bank control scheme.
The job involved creating 22 new control drawings, modifying 26
existing control drawings, and making obsolete 19 existing control
drawings.
Beaulieu 115 - 12.47 kV Substation, Aiken E.C.I.
- Aiken, SC
Mr. Trotter was project manager for this 115 - 13.8/7.97
kV substation for the Beaulieu fiber plant. and
coordinated the project with Aiken E.C.I, Beaulieu,
Inc. and Santee Cooper (115 kV supplier). The station
has a circuit switcher on the high side, one 20 MVA
transformer and two underground circuits on the low
side. Overcurrent and differential relays protect the
station. The station also has capacitors for power
factor correction with overcurrent, overvoltage and
undervoltage protection. He produced drawings, wrote
the contract and specifications, bid the project and
awarded the erection contract. He performed the final
inspections, calibrated all relays, performed
functional testing of the protective systems and placed
Pthe station in service in November 1995.
