S&C and SEL partner on interoperable grid control solution with 95% lower fault-test energy

S&C Electric Company has announced a collaboration with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories on the upcoming SEL-651RD Advanced Digital Control, expanding interoperability for its IntelliRupter PulseCloser Fault Interrupter.
