Abstract

The service area in which New England Electric System operates is the most heavily forested region in the United States. Trees have been the largest single cause of interruptions of electric service. A computerized program provides various types of reports. An analysis of these reports indicates that broken trees or branches falling on main line three phase 15 kV class distribution lines are having the greatest impact on service reliability goals. The availability of the reports are of great value in making wise decisions as to the best utilization of available resources.
