SQUIRREL COSTS
MEA SOME $1,500
Loss, estimated at $1,500, re
sulted when one little squirrel
short-circuited a lightning ar
rester at the Reed substation at
5:30 a.m. May 11, according to
William H. Johnson, Matan
uska Electric Association chief
engineer.
The resulting flash from the
short circuit spread to two ar
resters. It was of such severe
intensity that it completely de
stroyed both, virtually melting
away the large barrel-shaped
porcelain bodies, according to
Johnson.
The short-circuit set off a
series of events when the main
breaker on the 115 KV line at
the Eklutna plant disconnected
| the transmission line extending
! to Anchorage, causing a severe
| interruption of service on the
Chugach Electric Association
: system, and in MEA's line in
the Birchwood-Eagle River
areas.
Attempts by the U. S. Bureau
of Reclamation Eklutna opera
tor to restore service resulted
in blowing two large 115 KV
fuses at the Reed substation.
Reclosure of the oil circuit
breakers at Eklutna was effect
ed at 5:54 a.m. and the trouble
located at the substation. Em
ergency repairs were complet
! ed at the substation by joint
1 efforts of the Bureau of Recla
) mation and MEA linemen and
service was restored to the
Birchwood-Eagle River area at
9:35 a.m.
The report did not include
the fate of the squirrel.
