Aerial Spacer Cable for Industrial Applications
Watch
the presentation on YouTube
Medium Voltage Aerial Spacer Cable has been used in the electric utility arena for 70 years, in applications including, but not limited to, improved reliability, storm hardening, tight construction right-of-ways, improved voltage regulation and quality of service, substation exits, multiple circuits, and environmental stewardship. Less prominent, but still highly viable, is the use of spacer cable in industrial applications.
The major industries that have taken advantage of spacer cable include mining, petrochemical (extraction, refinery and storage), pulp & paper, automotive, cement, transit, and high tech (chip makers, etc.).
Industrial applications have a great need for super high reliability, as outages can be exceedingly costly, and spacer cable provides significant benefits in this regard. This webinar will cover spacer cable basics, how they apply to the industrial side of medium voltage electrical facilities, and will draw on examples in each industry where spacer cable has been successfully applied to achieve these benefits.

Substation Condition-Based Monitoring to Increase Reliability
Watch
the presentation on YouTube
With the rapid evolution in the development of online monitoring systems
for substation equipment, equipment performance and condition data are
more easily accessed in greater detail than at any point in the history
of the electrical industry. However, simply having this data available
doesn't guarantee the success of an asset management plan. The more
critical factor in increasing system liability is dependent upon the analytics
being applied to this data and a good understanding of the cause-and-effect
relationship between the various components within the substation. In this
discussion, we will observe some of the key indicators of impending transformer
and breaker failure, as well as how mis operation of the power protection
system can have a detrimental effect on the health of the systems transformers.

Leakers . . . What a Mess! Cost Effective Methods for Repairing Oil & SF6 Leaks in your Substation Transformers and Circuit Breakers
Waych
the presentation on Youtube
This presentation will focus on a unique repair technique whereby SF6 gas and oil leaks in substation apparatus can be repaired in a fashion without needing to remove the SF6 or oil. This specialized repair is done without dismantling the device as is typically done with traditional regasketing. Some repairs can even be performed some on oil filled equipment with the device still in service carrying load. With much shorter outages for these leak repairs than traditional repair techniques, your cost and labor requirements are much lower. And restoring your equipment to a fully leak free and normal condition, provides stable reliability to your system and customers.
