AMP Project Spotlight: Carver County Fairgrounds – Waconia, Minnesota 🌭🍟🍧🍦
When the Carver County Fairgrounds began looking for ways to modernize its electrical infrastructure, the goal was clear: eliminate multiple utility meter charges, remove aging overhead service laterals, and transition to a more efficient single-point metering system. Thanks to AMP's competitive pricing and long-standing partnership with Robb's Electric (https://www.robbselectricinc.net/) of Carver, Minnesota, the project quickly became a reality.
Robb's Electric has been a valued sponsor of the Carver County Fair for many years and has partnered with AMP on numerous projects, making them a trusted resource for delivering reliable power distribution solutions throughout the fairgrounds.
To date, AMP has supplied three major service installations for the Carver County Fairgrounds:
1,600A Main Service Switchboard – NEMA 3R outdoor, service entrance rated, 208Y/120V, 3-phase, 4-wire, featuring a 1,600A fused main, CT compartment, and multiple distribution sections to consolidate the fairgrounds' primary electrical service.
1,200A Grandstand Service Switchboard – Outdoor NEMA 3R construction with a 1,200A service disconnect and multiple feeder sections providing dependable power distribution for grandstand operations and event infrastructure.
800A Livestock Service Switchboard – A dedicated outdoor service entrance switchboard supporting the livestock facilities with an 800A fused main and distributed feeder circuits for exhibits and agricultural operations.
In addition to these custom switchboards, Robb's Electric has continued specifying and installing a variety of AMP standard power distribution products throughout the Carver County Fairgrounds over the years, further strengthening the relationship between our organizations.
