Abstract

About 30 percent of all overhead power distribution outages are caused by failing electrical equipment. Arc and partial-arc sources predict an eventual outage. Replacing failing equipment reduces all reliability index figures. The novel sensing device discussed accurately determines the Global Positioning System (GPS) location of an arc source from moving vehicles. It can be called an outage-avoidance system.
