Electric underground distribution system is generally more reliable than overhead because it is not exposed to the severe weather events round the year. However, it is still prone to failures from corrosion, mechanical issues, animal intrusion to name a few. While the number of failures is typically much less the duration of outages are much longer when compared to that for overhead. What is the best approach to minimize impact of an outage? Automate and implement FLISR system wide or retrofit monitoring or do both? In this presentation we will examine the various approaches.
