Alaskan Rail Belt• The Alaska Railbelt system
– Electrically Islanded• The Railbelt system
– 850 MW Peak – Four generation areas:
Fairbanks, Anchorage, Beluga, and the Kenai Peninsula.
• The Anchorage area – Anchorage and Beluga
generation – Tied to both the Fairbanks and
Kenai Peninsula systems through single transmission ties
– 138 kV tie north to Fairbanks– 115 kV tie south to the Kenai.

Why First Trip Analysis?
• Analyze breakers “in the field” condition

Lubrication• Grease is composed of soap and oil• Oil provides lubrication• Soap gives consistency to hold lubrication• Oil eventually separates from the soap• Time causes soap to harden and gum up• Harden soap slows down breakers

Advantages of Capturing First Trip
• Breaker can be tested in energized state• Test can be performed in about 10 minutes• Overlay breaker operations

Qualifications for Operator
• Know how to read breaker control schemes• Be qualified to switch• Be computer literate• Understand safety rules for working in a
substation
