Early Fault Detection continues to gain momentum as utilities look for better ways to identify developing issues before they lead to outages.

A recent Sentinel & Enterprise article highlights how National Grid is using our Early Fault Detection system to identify developing equipment issues before they result in customer outages.

Beyond improving reliability, the article highlights the cost and operational benefits of moving from emergency response to planned maintenance. Planned maintenance costs less than emergency repairs, while identifying problems earlier can help extend the life of existing equipment and reduce costly emergency restoration work.

For utilities, this means an opportunity to address issues before they become larger, more expensive problems, while improving customer reliability and making smarter, more targeted investment decisions.

It’s great to see the value of Early Fault Detection recognised as utilities continue to modernise their networks and take a more proactive approach to asset management.
