Abstract :
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BOARD (ESB), Ireland, as a portion of its postwar expansion program, constructed a series of 110/38-kv transmission stations in the period 1948252. So far as possible, the stations were built to a common basic plan. However, they were not identical but varied in power-transformer ratings, complexity of control, and number of high-voltage outlets. Accordingly, their cost varied from roughly $14 to $20 per kva of installed transformer capacity. The control installations averaged 16 per cent of gross station cost.
