With “storm season” now lasting all year thanks to polar vortices, hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and more, your grid is facing a relentless onslaught of inclement weather.

That means more damage, outages, and crew deployments.

It’s Time for a New Approach

You can improve your grid’s resilience against these year-round weather events—and break the storm-outage-repair cycle—by:

Undergrounding lines all the way out to the grid edge and boosting their reliability with solutions like S&C’s EdgeRestore® Underground Distribution Restoration System
Replacing overhead fuses with automatic reclosing devices like S&C’s TripSaver® II Cutout-Mounted Recloser
Deploying self-healing technology like S&C’s IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupter

By deploying these solutions, you can strengthen your grid, experience fewer sustained outages, and protect your system—and your customers—from future storms.
