Application of a Falling Conductor Mitigation Solution

Detect and de-energize falling conductors on distribution circuits before they hit the ground. This falling conductor mitigation solution utilizes a patented algorithm within an SEL Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC), synchrophasor data from throughout the distribution system, and SEL-5702 Synchrowave Operations Software to detect, isolate, and locate falling conductors before they lead to dangerous conditions.

In this recorded webinar, presenters from SEL and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) demonstrate the functionality of a falling conductor mitigation solution on distribution circuits and include examples of field applications.

Learn about:

• How SEL’s advanced algorithms detect and isolate falling conductors on distribution circuits.
• Case studies and real-world examples detailing successful implementations of the algorithms.
• How to improve situational awareness through real-time monitoring, data visualization, and archiving capabilities.

This is the second of a two-part webinar series. The first part provides an overview of the falling conductor mitigation solution.
