Fayette Electric
Co-op Gains New
Repair Facilities
Fayette Electric Co-Op here
now has its owti transformer
and meter repair facilities
with the opening of the Trans
former-Meter Repair Division
of Texas Power Reserve Elec-
tric Co-Op in Austin this
month.
Texas Power Reserve, the
statewide association of rural
electric co-ops, built and is
operating the plant for Fayette
Electric and the seventy-six
other rural electric co-ops lo-
cated throughout Texas.
John F. Luecke, manager of
Fayette Electric Co-Op here,
says it is one of the most mo-
dern, up-to-date plants in the
country.
H K. Gus Harrison, former-
ly of San Angelo, manager of
the new plant says that all of
the equipment is specialized
and was designed by Texas
Power Reserve employees for
handling all types, makes, and
sizes of distribution transfearn-
ers and large high-voltage
transmission transformers.
The specially designed equip-
ment is used to wind, treat
with baking varnish, dry, and
test transformers, as well as
process insulating materials.
The plant’s bake oven is one
of few walk-in type bake ovens
in the state.
The biggest job now in pro-
gress in the plant is a 333 KVA
substation - type transformer
from North Plans Electric Co-
Op at Perryton. At full capa-
city, the plant can handle
some 200 transformers per
month.
The Transformer Repair Di-
vision’s transportation facilities
include a truck and trailer for
pickup and delivery of trans-
formers throughout the state.
A hydraulic side-gate on the
trailer facilitates the loading
and unloading. The truck can
carry more than 100 average-
size transformers, about 22,000
pounds of transformers, at one
time.
Texas rural electric co-op*
>w operate some 125,000
miles of power lines In serv-
ing nearly 300,000 Texas farm-
s and ranchers. “They’ve
long needed their own facilities
for repairing their own trans-
formers,” says Texas Reserve
General Manager Elmo J. Os-
borne, “and this is it—the co-
ops’ own!”
