Early detection of the tracking insulator improved uptime, ensuring continuous operation of the crucial transmission line.
In Australia, Early Fault Detection (EFD) identified a tracking insulator that led to intermittent transient faults on a key transmission where reliability was of the upmost importance. The issue was detected remotely by the EFD system, enabling prompt, focused maintenance to prevent future faults.
Early detection of the tracking insulator improved uptime, ensuring continuous operation of the crucial transmission line.
Preventing future faults saved the operator from costly repairs and potential revenue losses.
Addressing the issue early prevented safety hazards, protecting both crew members and the public.
The EFD system flagged the exact location where a tracking insulator was leading to intermittent transient faults, which was unable to be found by system operators previously. This led to consistent downtime of a crucial transmission line.
By detecting the issue early, the EFD system enabled swift, targeted maintenance to replace the tracking insulator. This proactive approach helped increase circuit uptime and improve overall system reliability, which translated to operational savings for the operator and stunted future economic consequences while avoiding safety hazards for their crews and the public.
