It is unavoidable reality that distribution systems will be subjected to various types of substation and feeder faults. Sustained faults cause relays to pickup and trip circuit breakers and de-energize the area surrounding the faulted section of the substation or feeder.
ETAP Smart Grid offers an efficient tool for distribution system fault detection that informs the operator of a sustained fault in the network and displays the fault isolation steps taken by the system in order to clear that fault. A sequential event recorder report can be used by the operator to evaluate status of protective devices and the open and closing time of circuit breakers. |
