After a storm damaged the Ocean Village Switchgear House, Hellman Electric responded within 24 hours to provide and maintain (5) 500kW and (2) 250kW generators, supplying temporary power to the 9 buildings affected, with refueling every eight hours.

In order to restore permanent power, the Hellman crews repaired the damaged 15kV feeders, in addition to dismantling and rehabilitating the existing damaged double ended 15kV switchgear. Prior to system initiation, Meg Ohm and Hi-Pot testing was performed for the 15kV switchgear, an over 5,000 circuit foot 15kV feeder system, (13) 15kV – 120/208V building transformers, and each building’s electrical distribution systems.
