JCP&L Breaker Project Under Way for Butler

Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) employees Allen Frey, Dan Fritz and Richard Bowles discuss installation of a new breaker at the Riverdale substation as part of the construction of a new 34.5 kilovolt power line to Butler in Morris County. 

The $3 million project is designed to improve service reliability and meet the growing electrical demand in the area. The breaker is a safety device to help protect JCP&L equipment, and prevent potential power outages. It performs the same function as a circuit breaker in a home.
