Why wildfire risk is rising for utilities

Wildfires and grid faults can impact one another, creating serious risks for infrastructure, personnel and surrounding communities. Understanding these risks is the first step toward building a stronger mitigation strategy.

How equipment upgrades reduce ignition risk

Technologies such as current limiting protectors, advanced reclosers and grid sensors combine to help utilities reduce fault duration, improve protection and minimize ignition conditions.

The role of distribution automation

Platforms such as G&W Electric’s Power Grid Automation enable utilities to detect faults faster, isolate damaged sections of the grid and restore service more quickly.
