Description of Works Simplied S37 - From existing Pole 367 on the 33kV overhead network, we propose to build a new 33kV overhead line spur that will terminate at a new 33kV/LV 25kVA pole mounted transformer. From here, a length of LV cable is to be laid down the pole to a pot end and then a single phase service cable laid to the point of supply where it will terminate in a new 100Amp cutout (max 30m service run allowed). The new 33kv spur will consist of 7 new poles with supporting stay wires installed on Poles 4, 5, 6 and 7.
