By installing new equipment, upgrading aging infrastructure, or a combination of the two, we help you quickly minimize fire risk. Our solutions for system hardening center on flashover mitigation designed to reduce risk in high fire threat areas that are most susceptible to ignitions.
G&W Electric and SEL work closely with you to design fire mitigation strategies that can be rapidly implemented across your electrical infrastructure. Our flexible solutions meet your unique needs in eliminating wildfire risk to address public safety concerns and satisfy regulatory mandates.
System Hardening
Eliminate Sparking and Sources of Ignition
Enhanced System Protection
Respond to Fire Threats With Speed and Precision
We can improve your system protection against wildfires with strategies that take advantage of technological advancements, including downed conductor detection, adaptive reclosing and fast fault clearing. As an expert in system integration, we can seamlessly integrate these features to align with your fire mitigation strategy.
