Play it smart. Keep it simple. Work smarter not harder.

Smart devices can help our distribution systems operate more efficiently. It is the proper placement and use of these devices, however, that impacts reliability. In an era of endless programmability and options, the simple essence of what needs to be accomplished can get lost. Programmable reclosers and sectionalizers have been around for many years. SIMPLE programmable reclosers and sectionalizers are the new kids on the block. Program and download settings without having to attend recloser college. Learn how the VersaTech recloser offers more with less to meet the needs of your distribution network. Coordinate the VersaTech recloser and HPS Programmable Sectionalizer using the same software package. Sectionalizers and reclosers, when applied properly and in tandem, can play an integral role in the distribution protection scheme. Learn how these devices can help boost your reliability.

Internal Fault Detection in Distribution Transformers

Utilities are constantly looking for ways to increase safety, reliability, and line crew productivity in the distribution system. One area capable of meeting these goals is the rapid detection of internal faults in poletop and padmounted distribution transformers.

This presentation will cover a technical overview of internal faults in distribution transformers, efforts the utility industry has undergone over the years to minimize the risk to linemen, and current industry practices to troubleshoot and identify faulted transformers. It will also describe recent advances in internal fault detection technology for distribution transformers, as well as the bottom line economic impact of using rapid fault detection to provide a smarter distribution system in terms of safety, reliability, and productivity.
