67kV conversion projects often look straightforward. Step down voltage. Feed distribution. Energize.

In reality, voltage conversion is a multi-layered integration challenge.

Without proper coordination, small oversights can create long-term reliability risks.

Protection & Coordination

Voltage conversion impacts:

• Relay protection schemes
• Breaker interrupting ratings
• Grounding system design
• Fault current calculations
• Arc flash mitigation

Transmission energy behaves differently at distribution levels. Systems must adapt accordingly.

Load Balance & Stability

Improper conversion can lead to:

• Voltage instability
• Load imbalance
• Transformer overheating
• Protection miscoordination
• Increased downtime risk

A conversion project must consider both current and projected demand growth.

67kV conversion isn’t a simple voltage drop—it’s system intelligence in action.

At BDE, we approach conversion as a full integration strategy, not a hardware installation.
