The Taylor Substation is located north of the town of Taylor, BC. As part of the Circuit Breaker Replacement Program, work involved the replacement of four existing aging 138 kV oil circuit breakers with new SF6/CH4 circuit breakers, and the installation of three new sets of 138 kV surge arresters. The circuit breakers are suitable for operating in -50°C to +40°C temperature range.
