“From the perspective of more than 40 years as a Transmission Standards Engineer, Reliability Leader, R&D Project Manager and Engineering Consultant, where I long ago qualified and used the Ohmstik on the FPL Transmission system, I recognize the following key benefits that electric utilities, the public, and the PUC’s will realize from Linebird’s method:
- Increased safety of power lines: Reduction of hazards to the public, linemen, and liability.
- Reliability and resiliency: Preventing customer outages and fault current damage to
expensive capital equipment such as circuit breakers and transformers.
- Quantifiable of risk of failure: Facilitates planned mitigation instead of ‘get a crew out there and put it back up!'”
