Success Stories
z Michigan Department of Corrections
- St. Louis Correctional Facility
Tuesday - Identified Level C Y-Splice located in
PMH feeding 5KV Padmount Transformer Recommended Prioritized Replacement
Friday - Y-Splice violently fails before facility could
replace causing unplanned outage
5KV Distribution System was less than 2 years old and
failure determined to be workmanship related on the YSplice

Disneyland Resort
Performed On-Line Partial Discharge Testing to evaluate
condition of 30 year old 1000 ft. 5KV XLPE WTF Feed.
Testing was performed during normal plant production with
zero down time.
Discovered severe electrical treeing throughout 100 ft
length of feed.
Facility scheduled replacement with zero impact on Resort
Operations.

General Motors
Performed On-Line Partial Discharge Testing to prioritize
repair/replacement of 35 year old XLPE Cable and
accessories.
Testing was performed during normal plant production with
zero down time (August 2002).
Identified Level C splice located in Tap Box on roof of
facility. Repairs were not scheduled until July Outage 2003.
Cable Splice failed Dec 2002 causing 48 hr loss of plant
production.
