The cost of momentary outages far exceeds the cost of sustained outages. Yet, so many of these blinks can be prevented. Investing in the right high-quality equipment eliminates unnecessary and nuisance outages, and speeds up repairing the ones that can’t be avoided. That means you spend less time and money fixing issues, freeing up funds and labor hours to put toward improving your system.

These days, everyone is “plugged in,” making them increasingly reliant on electronic devices they expect will be connected at all times. In this digital age, even the smallest outages have a big impact—and cause big complaints. To satisfy customers, no outage can be left behind. Reducing momentary outages is as critical a need as eliminating the sustained ones we’ve always tried to tackle.

The old ways of protecting power systems cannot keep up with the ever-changing demands for resiliency and reliability. To accommodate the continual increase of distributed energy resources, such as wind and solar, it’s even more important to stay up to date with modern technologies that enable the grid to operate efficiently, yet are flexible enough to adapt to future changes.
