  • Abstract
    ONE OF THE PROBLEMS facing utilities is that of restoring service after extended outages on heavily loaded distribution circuits. The accumulated demand which appears during an outage of more than 20 minutes quite often causes difficulty when re-energizing the line. The solution becomes one of breaking the system into segments which are then re-energized successively rather than all at once.
