G&W added solid dielectric technology with the acquisition of Hotsplicer Corporation in 2000. A complete line of solid dielectric products were introduced. Single phase, three phase and multi-way switchgear (Trident style) offered unique advantages to alternate dielectric designs. Viper-S three phase and Viper-ST triple option reclosers permitted superior protection and control flexibility. Junction bars and encapsulated fuses were added. Molded rubber stress cone development enabled improvements in transmission voltage terminations and a line of molded rubber joints to 130kV. The company became ISO 9001:2000 certified in 2001 and ISO 14001 certified in 2002.
