Today’s expanding overhead distribution systems are characterized by greater load densities resulting in more load per mile of line, more interconnections, and more laterals and branches. At the same time, there is an increasing demand for an even higher degree of system reliability. To simplify switching procedures, minimize outages, and facilitate post-outage cold-load pickup, more and more sectionalizing points are needed. S&C’s rugged line of switching and protection products for medium-voltage overhead distribution systems provides long-term reliability and exceptional value. And S&C offers comprehensive services for overhead distribution systems too. For systems requiring a higher degree of reliability and operational efficiency, S&C can provide complete automation solutions.
