Contingency Plan
RE Q U E ST
The "contingency plan in case the initial replacement transformer fails key safety and reliability tests”.
RE S PO N S E
As part of its response to the June 2, 2024, Santa Isabel Transmission Center (TC), LUMA identified
various options for the replacement of the damaged transformer and assessed each one based on the
short- and long-term needs of the system and our customers. Based on this assessment, LUMA
determined that installing a 112MVA transformer provided an optimal short-term solution, while also
aligning with long-term objectives, including planned network upgrade and other infrastructure
improvements to support service reliability and enable the integration of Tranche 1 renewable energy
projects.
As part of its assessment, LUMA identified a second transformer, consisting of a 56MVA unit stored in
Maunabo, which would be made available as a contingency. While the 56MVA transformer provides an
immediate short-term solution because it is the same size as the existing transformer in the Santa Isabel
TC, it does not provide the same long-term benefits as the 112MVA initially selected, that would
eventually result in extra costs and not the optimal solution for the customers as it would be a temporary
solution.
For the contingency plan, please refer to ROI-LUMA-IN-2024-0002-20240711-PREB-001_Attachment1.

RE Q U E ST
The "processes and protocols" used by LUMA to perform the "tests on the replacement transformer
before and after transport”.
RE S PO N S E
All electrical and oil testing was performed and verified to meet transformer industry guidelines IEEE 57-
152 and IEEE 57-140 (Dissolved Gas Analysis - DGA), respectively. Testing results were analyzed for
transformer usability prior to transport and prior to livening.
The testing plans performed for the EFACEC transformer at the Buen Pastor TC and the Santa Isabel TC
are attached and were developed based on industry guidelines and procedures previously applied by
LUMA in relation to the energization of transformers of comparable characteristics. The list of transformer
tests from each plan is shown below.
• Oil Dielectric
• Oil PF
• Oil Color/Acidity
• Laboratory DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) in oil samples
• Transformer Turn Ratio (TTR) test for all tap positions
• Winding Power Factor H & X to G
• Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA Test)
RESPONSES TO JULY 11, 2024, REQUESTS
The tests performed at the two locations were different. At the Buen Pastor substation, the tests were
designed to verify serviceability, including the integrity of the transformer and its components, prior to
transport to Santa Isabel. At the Santa Isabel TC, a full commissioning level of tests were completed to
determine whether the transformer and station were able to be energized.
Also note that the list of tests in the testing plan were derived from a comprehensive list of transformer
tests, e.g., this EFACEC transformer has no Oil Pumps or LTC filter, although listed.
At the Buen Pastor substation, the Dissolved Gas Analysis test results from a January oil sample were
used for the transformer acceptance since transformer oil evacuation was performed prior to transport.
Once the unit was transported to the Santa Isabel TC, prior to testing, a transformer vacuum process
followed, the transformer was filled with new processed oil and the oil tested. Once the unit was
energized for 48 hours, a second sample was taken, reviewed, and analyzed prior to loading.

RE Q U E ST
Indicate the reasons why the transformer was not moved from the municipality of Maunabo, instead of the
transformer from the municipality of Caguas.
RE S PO N S E
As explained before, LUMA’s response to the Santa Isabel TC transformer failure included an
assessment of available transformer units, their location and design and operating specifications. LUMA
then assessed each option against short- and long-term needs and objectives of the system and our
customers. Based on this assessment, LUMA determined that relocating and installing a 112MVA
transformer at the Santa Isabel TC, instead of a 56MVA transformer unit, such as the one stored in
Maunabo, provided the best solution, given it addressed both short-term reliability needs, while also
aligning with planned long-term network upgrades and infrastructure improvements.

RE Q U E ST
The short- and long-term plan ensures that consumers in the municipalities of Santa Isabel, Coamo and
Aibonito are not affected as a result of the incident.
RE S PO N S E
LUMA restored service to all customers impacted by the Santa Isabel outage event by June 9. Since
then, no customers have experienced service interruptions as a result of any remediation activities
undertaken by LUMA in connection with the June 2, 2024, outage event. This is primarily the result of
LUMA having (i) completed the repairs to lines 8500 and 4800 and (ii) installed temporary generation in
the area.
Additionally, other short-term initiatives currently underway include (i) the temporary rehabilitation of Lines
100 and 200 and the underbuilt feeder (4401-01) and (ii) the installation of the 115/38 kV transformer in
Santa Isabel TC. These projects provide temporary power and ultimately 3 separate sources to the Santa
Isabel TC 38 kV bus to provide continued service to customers in the area.
The long-term initiatives are permanent repair projects that entail the deployment of infrastructure that
meet LUMA and industry standards, including transmission structures that can withstand 160 miles per
hour winds, and substation equipment that meets standards such as IEC61850.
Longer terms initiatives include:

RE Q U E ST
Notify the construction status of lines 100, 200 and 4800, including the construction stages and the
construction and delivery itinerary of the same.
RE S PO N S E
As described in previous responses, LUMA’s response includes both short-term initiatives, designed to
ensure customers in the area serviced by the Santa Isabel TC have reliable access to electric service, as
well as long-term initiatives, which align with planned network upgrades and other infrastructure
improvements designed to modernize and strengthen the electric infrastructure and enable the integration
of new renewable energy resources.
Short-term initiatives:
On June 10, 2024, LUMA completed the reconductoring of the line 8500 sections with 3/0 conductor,
upgrading to 556.5ASCR conductor, raising the line ampacity from 300A to 720A. These upgrades enable
feeding the Aibonito, Coamo and Santa Isabel substations from the Cayey TC.
Regarding Line 100 and 200, the objective is to energize a single circuit from Salinas Urbano to Santa
Isabel Sectionalizer. The Scope of Work considers the installation of 42 poles and 556.5 ACSR conductor
to be replaced. Also, a new distribution conductor must be installed in approximately 30 spans. LUMA
submitted technical inquiries and permit requests with the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and
Environmental Resources (DRNA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO), Instituto de Cultura, and Fish & Wildlife as required for the Line 100 and 200
project. LUMA already secured municipal permits, excavation permits, and the Puerto Rico Department of
Transportation and Public Works (DTOP) permits required for this project.
Long-term initiatives:
Line 100 and 200 has a FEMA rebuild project underway and the engineering design is at 70% for the
project. A detailed scope of work (SOW) was submitted to FEMA in August 2022. A revised version of the
detailed Scope of Work was submitted to FEMA in April 2024 and is presently under review. Construction
RESPONSES TO JULY 11, 2024, REQUESTS
is expected to begin by July 2025 and is dependent on delivery of the long lead items (new LUMA
standard poles, conductor, etc.). Dates are subject to revision, including the ongoing emergency work and
the anticipated FEMA obligation date. The project for lines 100-200 is estimated to take 1.5 years after
start to complete construction.
The Network Upgrades project addresses the needs for upgrades to the Santa Isabel TC and line 4800.
As part of the System Impact Study from Tranche 1 analysis, line 4800 requires an upgrade to a 48MVA
rating and a 112MVA transformer needs to be installed. A detailed Scope of Work was submitted to
FEMA on November 21, 2023. This project is also pending obligation.

For transportation the transformer was emptied of oil, and the fans, radiators and oil conservator
removed.
After the transformer was prepared for transportation, two impact recorders were attached to the
transformer to monitor the crane movements and transportation for potential impacts. The recorded data
has been analyzed, without any alarms reported. Once the transformer arrived at Santa Isabel TC the
accessories were reinstalled, and the transformer was filled with new oil that was processed to ensure oil
quality.
The following electrical and functionality tests were performed at Santa Isabel Substation with successful
results.
After tests were completed the following commissioning steps were performed. These steps need to be

To report on the status of the transformer transferred to the municipality of Santa Isabel, namely the
viability of its use in the short and long term and its useful life.
RE S PO N S E
The EFACEC 112MVA transformer passed all the required tests prior to being relocated to the Santa
Isabel TC and upon arrival. The successful results obtained from the tests suggested the transformer
could be installed and put into operation. LUMA is currently in the process of conducting the necessary
tests and inspections to determine the cause of the fault that caused the unit to fail.
At this moment, the only available data is the nature of the fault detected by the protective equipment
associated with the transformer, which is an internal fault. LUMA will initiate tests and needs to relocate
the oil tankers to empty the transformer and do an internal inspection.

the tests for the end of the life of the moved transformer.
RE S PO N S E
The transformer was energized from the 115 kV side with the 38 kV side open on Friday, July 5. This
energization without load is a process known as soaking. The soak of a power transformer is a test item
after installing a transformer, that allows the transformer electro-magnetic elements to get stabilized
before accepting load. Typically, this is a test that lasts 24 to 48 hours. It is a safety measure that verifies
proper installation and provides measurements that can be checked against transformer nameplate
ratings.
After the soaking was completed, LUMA proceeded loading the transformer below 50% of its capacity to
perform current and voltage flow in-service readings. However, the protective relay detected an internal
fault in the unit, tripping the corresponding breakers and isolating the transformer from the system. Note
that this trip did not disturb customer load on line 4800. The 38 kV bus remained energized from the
Cayey source and all the customers in the area remained connected.
