A new lateral protection strategy using S&C's TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser can dramatically improve the way your utility responds to 80% of faults.

When a fault occurs, this smart grid solution eliminates momentary outages for customers on the main feeder by only blinking the affected laterals.

This approach saves money for the utility and its customers while improving reliability for all.
