World-first technology to reduce power line bushfire risk trialled in Victoria
World-first technology to prevent bushfires being sparked by fallen power lines is being trialled in Victoria, attracting international attention.
The technology works by reducing the electrical current running through a power line when it comes in contact with either the ground or a fallen tree.
The Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiter has been adapted from technology used overseas in underground cable networks.

I suspect that they’re over egging the pudding with the ‘world’s first’.

That’s nice. But is that “rapid” rapid enough? I don’t think it can be rapid enough to stop all such power-line-created bushfires – a single arc could ignite a bushfire faster than electrons can stream from the circuit breaker to the break. But it could be rapid enough to stop 90% of them, or even more.

It’s a very English expression. We have various sayings involving eggs and/or puddings.

the Victorian government doesn’t want to put it underground because it will be too expensive for them

pudding lane by the beatles
In Pudding Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he’s had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello
the SSSF has a “pud”
Georgie Porgie, Puddin’ and Pie,Kissed the girls and made them cry,When the boys came out to playGeorgie Porgie ran away.[
