Transmission Reliability Improvement

SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) minutes quickly expand as you try to locate the fault on a multi tap transmission line. The use of the Smart TAP^® technology with CMD^® II for current measurement and fault directionality allows the utility to isolate the fault with the first reclose. Existing switches can be used with this solution to minimize SAIDI minutes, without the need to add circuit breakers and substations.
