Distributech: "Enhancing Customer Safety with Distributed Intelligence"

Join us at 10:15am-10:45am at Grid Edge Technologies Hub Theater (booth #2041) 

Discovering and addressing potential safety concerns on a low-voltage distribution network is paramount. Having visibility into issues associated with outages and fires, energy theft and hot sockets can prevent catastrophic situations. Through the Safety Bundle, distributed intelligence applications such as High Impedance Detection, Meter Bypass Detection, and Advanced Temperature Monitoring detect and locate poor electrical connections, discover meter tampering and energy diversion, and use high-resolution temperature readings to detect meter socket problems, respectively—all before they create a safety hazard or interrupt service. Learn how utilities are decreasing customer outage minutes, minimizing repair costs and field visits, and ultimately ensuring customer safety and satisfaction with distributed intelligence applications.
