Wildfire Ignition
Aging electrical power grid infrastructure is a primary source of catastrophic wildfire ignitions upon contact with vegetation or debris.
Assessment
The wildfire risk on aging power grids.
Decades-old conductors, exposed insulators, and contact-arc failure modes have turned the distribution edge of the grid into one of the largest ignition surfaces in the western United States.
Infrastructure Decay
Traditional repair methods are slow, expensive, and require disruptive multi-day service outages across entire feeder circuits.
Failure Modes
Conventional systems lack the dielectric hardening needed for high-risk environmental factors. wind, salt, fire, and contact arcing.
The Kratos materials stack is engineered specifically to neutralize these failure modes at the conductor level. without rebuilding a single mile of line.
