) which is available for markets outside the U.S. and Canada. Capable of 
working with a variety of configurations in any application, the new Teros 
recloser is designed to improve system reliability and grid resiliency. This 
new recloser provides overcurrent protection for temporary faults on overhead 
distribution lines and reduces long-term system outages.

"Grid reliability affects everyone--all around the globe--from the average 
household to entire factories and telecom systems. The results are not just 
inconvenient, but economic," said John Mueller, chairman and owner of G&W 
Electric. "To better mitigate disruption and to manage reliable electrical 
service, improvements made in recloser technology are imperative to ensuring a 
reduction in widespread power outages. Today, reclosers are the critical 
must-have in a utility's grid reliability." 

The new Teros recloser offers a wide range of benefits and fits most 
configurations, despite a wide variance of requirements from country to 
country. Requiring no oil or SF6, the Teros Recloser eliminates the need for 
routine maintenance and improves personnel safety. Solid dielectric and 
electronically controlled, Teros has been field-tested for reliable load 
switching and overcurrent protection. Whether looking to improve or expand grid 
systems and capabilities, the Teros offers utilities site-ready designs for new 
and existing electrical systems. 

"With growing populations and a greater demand for reliable power, paired with 
new construction, a reliance on technology and the effects of climate change, 
utilities are working hard to save customers the expenses and inconveniences of 
frequent outages," added Mueller. "Reclosers have become the global market 
solution to the expansion and modernization of distribution networks for 
enhanced reliable power."

The Teros system is designed to reduce the amount, frequency, and duration of 
outages on overhead systems, including main distribution lines, distribution 
branch circuits and substations. Lightweight and compact, the Teros site-ready 
designs provide all the necessary brackets, arresters and voltage transformers 
providing ease of installation. In addition, this new recloser is power grid 
automation ready, simplifying the need for future automation requirements.
