ALERTING
EVENTS
Powerline's damage alerts provide precise GPS coordinates for utility operators and first responders to identify and locate damage in real-time.
If a power line falls in the woods and nobody is there to see it . . .
WHY FOCUS ON
MECHANICAL
FAILURES?
95% of all fires and outages start with damage that is mechanical.
Non-electrical failures are typically undetectable by most modern monitoring systems.
-
Mechanical failures are primarily lines that become detached from their safely insulated route of travel.
-
Broken insulators
-
Broken cross bars
-
Loose attachment bolts
-
-
Without losing power or igniting a fire, these damage incidents are often undetectable by traditional monitoring systems.
-
Lines that are live, detached & undetected swing into objects that cause sparks and fire.
