Six medium voltage units will help light the way for planes on three new runways under construction at one of the world’s busiest airports – Chicago’s O’Hare International. The two designs were: 1) Step up Transformers with the primary connected to Load Break Disconnect Switches that were installed to the outside of the enclosure; or 2) Step down transformers with the primary connected to NX Arc Strangler Fuses in mountings that were installed in a compartment of the enclosure.
