Using Continuous Offline Insulation Resistance Testing and CBM to increase Plant Safety and Reliability

Since over 80% of electrical maintenance testing involves evaluating insulation integrity, the first and most important test done on electrical equipment is an Insulation Resistance (Meg) Test. This is because electrical insulation begins to age as soon as it’s manufactured and aging causes...

Lateral Fuses and Reliability

Improving protection and control for distribution systems

BY STEVE GREEY, S&C Electric

In 2008, Toronto Hydro completed a study of its worst performing feeders (distribution system feeder lines). This study identified the utility’s distribution feeders with the poorest reliability. The study raised an interesting question: “Why do lateral fuses which, since the 1930s, have been the most effective way of increasing reliability, provide adequate reliability on some of the 27.6-kilovolt distribution feeders and not others?”
