Building Sustainable Solutions

With the increased demand for reliable energy, the modern power grid must be built to perform with less downtime, withstand extreme weather events, and conform to constantly evolving regulations, at cost. TE Connectivity offers end-to-end smart grid connections for a robust, reliable network that is built with sustainable solutions in mind.

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 aging 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.

One Connectivity Partner

We carry more than 65 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 been helping distribution network owners effectively improve grid uptime and network efficiency. 

Our Raychem cable accessories, paired with our Kries devices, enable our customers to gain crucial data about their networks, helping to prevent failures and reduce the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and the System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI). Rather than deploying costly and labor-intensive upgrades on entire networks, grid monitoring devices can pinpoint faults and weak connections, providing an effective solution for a fraction of the investment. Our solutions can be integrated into new or retrofit projects.
