Customers in the area will also benefit from the installation of new automated reclosing devices to help limit the frequency, duration and extent of service interruptions. The devices:
- Work like a circuit breaker in a home that shuts off power when trouble occurs, with the added benefit of automatically reenergizing a substation or power line within seconds for certain types of outages to keep power safely flowing to customers.
- Allow crews to quickly pinpoint the location of the issue and help utility personnel better understand the cause of the outage to support timely power restoration.
