Identifying Patterns of Downed Conductors

This video is meant for training operators to identify patterns of live, downed conductors. Topics include:

• Basics of energized, downed conductors
• Use of arc-detecting relay alarms
• Using visual patterns of outages to differentiate between a broken conductor and a false rollup from multiple fuse operations
• Comparing “confirmed” to “predicted” outages on SCADA reclosers
• Action plan for events involving a broken conductor
• Operator work flow on normal days
• Using support personnel on storm days
• Identifying patterns on non-SCADA devices
• Introduction to a system that can automatically ping to identify possible downed-conductor scenarios
• Record keeping
