Power outage: high-voltage losses
Human activities are largely dependent on public and private electricity distribution networks, from production sites to consumption points. An electricity network failure can therefore have a significant impact on the activity of a company or a professional.

Power distribution: a wide variety of incidents
Power distribution grids are particularly elaborate structures, made up of a set of conductors (overhead lines, underground cables, etc.), electrical substations, but also protection and control panels.
The emergence of new cyber technology, combined with the decentralisation of centres of production, has also added a new layer of complexity. Today, smart grids help automatically adjust the flow of power between suppliers and consumers.
This makes for a multitude of potential incidents, which can have significant material and immaterial consequences for electricity consumers. The slightest outage affecting one of the links in the chain can ripple out to the entire grid.
From a petrochemical site shutdown to a fire in an electrical cabinet to a cable breaking on a metro line, power distribution damage can take many different forms. From the simplest cases to the most complicated, companies and their insurers need the support of skilled, responsive loss adjusters.
Immediate loss adjusting for power outages
When there is a power outage, Stelliant Loss Adjusting deploys its loss adjusters, who are trained electrotechnical engineers with years of experience in the power distribution sector: grid operators, engineering project managers, technicians, etc.
Electrical losses are unique in that they can be caused by many different things. Stelliant Loss Adjusting’s experts mobilise their skills to pinpoint the source of the loss: electricity distributor error, electrical cabinet nonconformities, external causes, etc.
Our loss adjusters understand perfectly the impact on professional activities when power supply is interrupted, making them able to assess the damages suffered by the company with precision. But it is only after having established with certainty the causal link with the power cuts that they can calculate the operating losses.
Complementary specialists for an adapted response
The Stelliant group brings together specialists from different backgrounds, with specific skills that can form, when necessary, a tailor-made team in project mode to deal with a claim related to an electrical network failure. Our electrical loss adjusters can also count on the support of financial experts for the costing of a large-scale claim, on an industrial or petrochemical site for example.
The agility of the Stelliant group is also reflected in its ability to mobilise its various services, in addition to its know-how. This is particularly the case with INQUEST’s consultants who, with the support of internal laboratories, are for example able to study the compliance of an electrical cabinet with the requirements of the NF C15-100 standard. Because electrical damage and fire are often concomitant, INQUEST also makes available to companies and risk managers a team of fire investigators (RCCF).
