Your Challenge: Fault Location

Locating a fault on hundreds of miles of power lines is a challenge for any distribution network owner. Disruptions to the grid caused by ageing infrastructure, extreme weather events, wildlife interaction, demand growth for energy, or fallen conductors can cause power interruptions with high fault currents. These unplanned outages must be resolved promptly to minimize the impact on consumers – but locating a fault often costs time and money.

We carry more than 70 years of experience in cable accessories, and offer a complete portfolio of TE Raychem switchgear connectors and terminations. They can fit virtually any cable size or installed product and offer reliable performance in the harshest environmental conditions. 

Our acquisition of the German pioneering company Kries expands TE’s portfolio in power grid monitoring, protection, and automation systems. For 30+ years, our experts have helped distribution network owners improve grid uptime and network efficiency. 

By combining Raychem cable accessories with Kries devices, our customers gain essential network data to help prevent failures and reduce both SAIDI^* and SAIFI^**. Rather than deploying costly, labour-intensive upgrades across entire networks, our grid monitoring devices identify faults and weak connections, offering a cost-effective solution. These solutions integrate seamlessly into new or retrofit projects.
