Technical Bulletin: Enhancing Wildfire Safety with Temperature-Sensitive Labels on Electrical Infrastructure
Wildfires pose a growing and increasingly costly threat to electrical infrastructure worldwide. As global temperatures rise and extreme drought conditions become more frequent in fire-prone regions, utility companies and power generators face escalating risks from vegetation contact with overhead lines, transformer overheating in high-ambient conditions, and the ignition of vegetation by failing electrical components. Temperature-sensitive labels offer an under-utilised but highly practical tool
