Potomac Edison completed two new distribution automation projects designed to reduce service interruptions for its customers in Maryland.
How they work is, the distribution automation projects will automatically switch customers to an adjacent power line if there are outages. This will help minimize the impact of power outages. The work was done in the Brunswick and Cumberland areas and will benefit 6,483 customers along 101 circuit miles served by Potomac Edison.
The two projects cost a combined $2.6 million. The work included the installation of nine automated reclosers, new line regulators for voltage support, and reconductoring and line construction in various places along the circuits.
