Emerald PUD is required by the State Public Utilities Commission to keep the power line right-of-ways clear of trees and branches that can cause outages. Trees are the number one cause of outages in our rural service territory. Our tree crews are constantly trimming and removing trees under power lines in our ongoing effort to make your electric service as reliable as possible. Customers are responsible for making sure trees aren't growing into the line that comes from our distribution system to your house.
The Surge Protection Device (SPD) must be listed for a type 1 or type 2 location (the location of the main electrical service panel). This standard protects against partial, direct, and indirect lightning discharges and is intended to provide surge protection to help achieve safe and reliable equipment performance. When tested with a surge of 6kV @3KA the VPR should be 800 volts or less. The VPR rating shows how much of a 6,000-volt surge is allowed to pass the SPD protection. MOVs redirect the electrical current in the event of a power surge.
