The backbone of electrical power systems is the medium-voltage power cable. Tom Lillis from Potomac joined a panel of industry experts to discuss issues related to the testing and analysis of electrical power cables. Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and interact with the panel about real-world situations.

Major Transportation Hub Goes Dark

Description:

Potomac was able to replace a transformer within 48 hours to get this station fully back online. While the lead time would normally be at least several months for a replacement transformer, Potomac has the resources to quickly locate and procure used equipment, performing any necessary modifications to ensure the electrical distribution equipment will operate to the required specifications.
