If those power lines were a substantial cause of the fire, that could be enough to recover billions of dollars in damages from the utility, even if it complied with regulations, legal experts said ...
A power company being investigated as a possible ignition point for some of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires has defended its decision to keep electrical transmission lines open right before they ...
Sep. 30—Dozens of insurance companies have joined in filing a lawsuit against Inland Power and Light for damages that resulted from the Gray fire last August. The suit, filed in Spokane County ...
Power outages are categorized into three different phenomena, relating to the duration and effect of the outage: A transient fault is a loss of power typically caused by a fault on a power line, e.g. a short circuit or flashover. Power is automatically restored once the fault is cleared. A brownout is a drop in voltage in an electrical power ...
The vast majority of transmission lines, over 70%, in the United States are outdated, and are near 25 years old. [11] The average age for power transformers that power over 90% of the country is 40 years old. [12] Power lines, whether old or new, are susceptible to storm damage, and, in 30% of cases, the power line does not automatically shut ...
Corona discharges on the 380kV overhead power line over the Albula Pass (Switzerland) in foggy weather conditions (30 second long exposure) Coronas can generate audible and radio-frequency noise, particularly near electric power transmission lines. Therefore, power transmission equipment is designed to minimize the formation of corona discharge.
The head of Southern California Edison said Wednesday that winds blowing in Eaton Canyon on Jan. 7 were not strong enough to merit de-energizing a powerful electrical transmission line that is now ...
Transmission line cables require impedance matching to carry electromagnetic signals with minimal reflections and power losses. The distinguishing feature of most transmission line cables is that they have uniform cross-sectional dimensions along their length, giving them a uniform electrical characteristic impedance. Signal terminators are ...
