Osmose University Webinars - Underground Cable and Transformer Systems: Managing the Life Cycle

Our webinars are eligible for IEEE PDH credit. To qualify, you must attend the webinar live and complete the IEEE evaluation we will provide following the event.

Did you know that 40% of newly installed cable systems have at least one substandard component, and the likelihood of failure is ten times higher after the first fault?

Many padmount transformer failures are both predictable and preventable. We’ve identified key causes of component degradation and best practices for long-term system performance by analyzing data from hundreds of thousands of assets over decades.

From product design and selection to installation, operation, maintenance, and replacement strategies, real-world case studies show how a targeted, life-cycle investment approach can significantly cut O&M costs, boost safety and reliability, and maximize the ROI of underground distribution systems.
