Fault Trace Tool
Real-Time Fault Mapping for Smarter Outage Response
Smarter Detection for Faster Restoration
When outages strike, every second counts. The Fault Trace Tool gives utility operators real-time visibility into electrical faults so they can identify, map, and resolve outages faster than ever.
What is the Fault Trace Tool?
The Fault Trace Tool (FTT) is an open-source, web-based mapping application that helps utility teams quickly locate and assess faults caused by lightning or system anomalies. It integrates with key platforms like ESRI, Vaisala, openXDA, and eDNA, delivering actionable insights in real time.
Key Benefits
Faster Response Times
Pinpoint fault locations and send crews directly to affected areas.
Shorter Outage Durations
Restore service faster using precise, real-time data.
Higher Reliability Scores
Improve SAIDI metrics and boost customer satisfaction.
Streamlined Workflows
Consolidate lightning, operational, and sensor data in one intuitive view.
