Insulating Cables Helps Ensure Electric Reliability
PNM News Release
Some underground electrical cable installed in the 1960s and 1970s-although considered state-of-the-art at the time-was not manufactured to today's standards, and is failing at a rate that increases every year. The result: electrical outages for customers. The cost-effective and guaranteed solution: CableCure, or injecting a fluid into the cable that fills the gaps and improves the insulation value.
