The outgoing 4160 volt, 3 phase, 3 wire circuits. thirteen in

number, serve Johnston Island, Akau (North) Island, Hikina (East) Island and

Sand Island loads through a distribution system of eleven feeders. Two outgoing circuits terminate at transformers outside of the power plant. These
transformers serve the various power plant auxiliary equipment and the power
plant utility loads.
The existing electrical distribution system on Johnston Island is a modified
Loop Radial configuration. This system has been operational for approximately
three years. Flexibility is afforded the existing distribution system by the
oresence of eleven manually operated, oil-immersed, sectionalizing switches,
rated at 400 amperes. The distribution voltage is 4160 volt, 3 phase, 3 wire
with 500-mcm conductors; one per phase. The distribution system feeder
conductors are routed to their substations through a network of underground
concrete-encased duct banks. The sectionalizing switches are located in
fenced enclosures.

Two of the feeders, Numbers 9 and 10,

have a loop con-

figuration through Submarine cables, and presently energize the Akau and
Hikina Island loads. The feeder routing to Hikina Island is directed through
a manhole on Sand Island (U. S. Coast Guard). The Sand Island load has
recently been connected to the Johnston Island distribution system. Feeder
No. Il is utilized to feed the LOX Plant 900 HP compressors only.
