Analytics Technology AT AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE T r ansf ormer L oading THE CHALLENGE: Transformers are the gateways through which high voltage power passes before it is converted into a lower voltage. They also allow electricity to be delivered safely and reliably into customers’ homes and businesses. Overloading can cause transformers to ‘fail’ and interrupt the flow of electricity. Before power can be restored safely, PowerStream takes the time necessary to identify the cause and location of the fault. THE SOLUTION: Just as doctors use stethoscopes to listen to the human heart, PowerStream has begun to routinely monitor the performance of the 44,000 transformers on its electricity distribution system, in an effort to identify potential problems befo
