We are considering shifting from 15 kV to 60 kV. What are the requirements? Examples include: transformers, feeder lines, etc.

You will need a NEC (code book) and measurements from location to location of equipment and services. Then after assessing if you need larger raceways for conductors, more space to contain panels and gear, size of wire, and codes enforced by the authority having jurisdiction. Then you can get a bid from a licensed contractor and supply house.

[a million] strengthen each pole or tower 4 hundred% greater top. in spite of if that's now 10 feet, substitute it into 40 feet. [2] substitute all insulator can run on 60KV. [3] substitute all step down transformer into accepted voltage 60KV. [4] substitute all secure practices gadget or circuit breaker for 60KV. you will be able to desire to maintain an identical feeder lines if the present fee is an identical or decrease.

What is the reason you are considering shifting from 15 to 60kV?
There doesn't seem to be any good reason to shift other than there are less line/copper losses I²R losses at 60kV.
If everything is operating satisfactorily on 15 why change?

I think the requirements vary from state to state, that's if you are in the USA, so I'd check with OSHA, and the Dept. of Energy in your state. I know it is pretty strict, especially if when you say 'we' you mean a business, or a residence near any substantial population. Ron
