Description
A row of circuit breakers - king size fuses - in the huge switchyard at Fort Randall Dam. One of the largest in the world, the big power dispatching center is 900 feet long and 250 feet wide. Power from the generators is fed to the switchyard through an underground cable system and sent through huge transformers. It leaves the project over 115,000 and 230,000 volt lines which tie in with the Missouri River Basin power network. - Corps of Engineers photo
