Underground equipment such as padmount transformers and switchgear are also expensive,so the premature failure of these devices due to corrosion can be costly.In order to avoid these outages and expenditures,CSU has an URD asset management program.The objective of this annual maintenance program is to ensure that the padmount transformers and switchgear are inspected, refurbished,and replaced (as required)through a systematic,multi-year program so as to maximize reliability and minimize outages and replacement costs.
