Ben Lanz, Senior Director – Industry & External Affairs for Osmose Utilities Services and a PDi2 Past Chair, presents a clear case for rethinking how we approach cable reliability. He explains why most failures originate during installation, not aging, and why predictive testing and better specifications are key to preventing failures. With detailed insights into partial discharge, water treeing, and the physics of insulation breakdown, Lanz advocates for a shift in focus: from reacting to failures to eliminating the conditions that cause them in the first place.
