Typically a tree limb will hit a power line, which causes a short and a surge at substation which causes an auto resetting breaker to trip. If it’s a small enough limb , the voltage will burn up the limb or the force of the electricity will repel the limb.
Back at the substation auto resetting breaker will reclose and try again a few times to test if the momentary fault is corrected before finally shutting down the line until a technician can clear the fault.

NYISO Podcast Ep. 19: How We Removed Barriers to Clean-Energy Resources Coming Onto the Grid
The proposal was created to make it easier for clean-energy resources such as solar or wind to take part in the competitive, wholesale markets that serve the New York grid. The project was overwhelmingly supported by stakeholders, following months of discussion on how to reconcile capacity market rules with the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).
Why is this change important, how did it come about, and how will it help bring us to a zero-emissions grid by 2040? Vice President for External Affairs and Corporate Communications Kevin Lanahan recently interviewed two of the primary authors of the proposal, also known as Comprehensive Mitigation Reform, for our latest Power Trends podcast. He spoke to Director of Market Design Mike DeSocio, and Manager of Capacity Market Design Zach T. Smith.
