- Generator instrumentation equipment and cables
- 13.8 kV segregated bus duct
- 13.8 kV feeder cables
- Neutral grounding cubicle
- Neutral grounding cable & tray
- Exciter cable and tray
- Lighting, switches, outlets
- Space heating system & control
- Braking System and Brake wear indicators
- High Pressure Oil Injection System
- Bearing Temperature Detection System
- Shaft Vibration System
- Partial Discharge Monitoring System
FMI will also modify and supply breakers for 480 Volt MCC as well as supply and install cable for 480V loads. New MV switchgear is being installed along with new MV cables and Neutral grounding system. There will also be grounding and lighting additions as well.
