1ormere with the same kilovolt-ami.~re rating, but operating at 110,000 and
35,000 volts, wer,, produced, In Apr.1 1952, the plant was ordered to produce
between 1 May and 9 September 1952 a 12,500-kilovolt-ampere transformer oper-

most of the equipment of"the substations is also of Bulgarian make.
During 1952, the machines of the following power stations were exceptionally
well repaired (obraztsov r?emont): "Mezdra" VETS (Hydroelectric Power Station)
