Faults caused by storms, wildlife, and vegetation have a big impact on your reliability and costs.

Most of these disturbances are temporary and can be avoided. And with 80% of faults in the distribution system occurring on lateral lines, keeping these faults from becoming sustained outages significantly improves your system performance and your bottom line.

S&C’s TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser boosts reliability and resiliency by leveraging fault-testing at the grid edge.

With 15 kV and 25 kV ratings, this single-phase recloser can swiftly restore power after temporary faults and isolate permanent faults to avoid widespread outages.
