🫀 Pulse Closing Technology: The Grid’s Cardiologist

What is cardiologist doing in the Grid Management.

When I was in school, I stood at a career crossroads: doctor or Engineer. The classic dilemma. My brain whispered "Engineer", by heart thumped "Doctor". Ironically, it was my parents who made final diagnosis - and prescribed engineering as the cure 😊

Turns out, the engineering path didn't completely abandon my medical dreams —Pulse Closing Technology is proof we’ve got a heartbeat in the grid too!

Pulse Closing Technology is like a cautious doctor gently checking your pulse before deciding whether to shock you back into action. It’s a smart way for power interrupters to verify that the line is clear of faults before they reclose—because nobody wants to revive a patient with a broken rib.

Pulse Closing Technology-Doctor gently checking your pulse

💡 How It Works

Instead of slamming power back onto a possibly faulty line like a panicked intern yelling “CLEAR!”, pulse closing technology takes a deep breath and says:

“Let’s just tap the wrist first.”

It rapidly closes and reopens the interrupter contacts at a precise point on the power waveform, sending a low-current pulse—a gentle heartbeat—into the line. Then it listens carefully, like a seasoned cardiologist:

• Is the rhythm normal?

• Any electrical fault?

• Should we proceed or call for backup?

If the pulse comes back clean, the interrupter says, “All good, let’s reclose.” If not, it stays open and avoids a messy electrical CPR

Benefits: Reduce stress, Improved power quality and superior to conventional reclosing.

Power line - Artery or vein ; Fault in the line-Blockage or abnormal rhythm

So next time your lights flicker and come back on smoothly, just imagine a transformer getting its pulse checked, nodding confidently, and saying:

“Heartbeat’s good. Let’s get back to work.”
