New Line Protection Device in use on Dettah Line

Monday, March 14, 2016 - 08:45

A new type of protective device, called a TripSaver, was installed on the distribution line to Dettah recently. This device allows for instantaneous tripping and reclosing for momentary faults.  It is less expensive than a line recloser and it is also possible for it to be installed in an existing cut-out switch. The potential usefulness of this device on NTPC's system was identified by Power Lineperson Deaon Hope. Thank-you Deaon for your efforts to improve service to our customers and lower operational costs!
