"Grid reliability affects everyone--all around the globe--from the average

household to entire factories and telecom systems. The results are not just

inconvenient, but economic," said John Mueller, chairman and owner of G&W

Electric. "To better mitigate disruption and to manage reliable electrical

service, improvements made in recloser technology are imperative to ensuring a

reduction in widespread power outages. Today, reclosers are the critical

must-have in a utility's grid reliability."

The new Teros recloser offers a wide range of benefits and fits most

configurations, despite a wide variance of requirements from country to

country. Requiring no oil or SF6, the Teros Recloser eliminates the need for

routine maintenance and improves personnel safety. Solid dielectric and

electronically controlled, Teros has been field-tested for reliable load

switching and overcurrent protection. Whether looking to improve or expand grid

systems and capabilities, the Teros offers utilities site-ready designs for new

and existing electrical systems.

"With growing populations and a greater demand for reliable power, paired with

new construction, a reliance on technology and the effects of climate change,

utilities are working hard to save customers the expenses and inconveniences of

frequent outages," added Mueller. "Reclosers have become the global market

solution to the expansion and modernization of distribution networks for

enhanced reliable power."

The Teros system is designed to reduce the amount, frequency, and duration of

outages on overhead systems, including main distribution lines, distribution

branch circuits and substations. Lightweight and compact, the Teros site-ready

designs provide all the necessary brackets, arresters and voltage transformers

providing ease of installation. In addition, this new recloser is power grid

automation ready, simplifying the need for future automation requirements.
