About the Topic

Doug Staszesky will present a technical discussion of PulseClosing (TM) - a new method for testing overhead lines for faults that does not expose lines and equipment to high energy faults - and eliminates voltage sags for power customers. He will also review a new approach to development of line protection settings - and maintaining settings throughout automated feeder restoration.
