A new approach to intermittant fault management in low voltage networks to reduce the number of repeat interruptions

This paper presents the implementation of new technologies and methodologies implemented by Alliander to reduce the number of repeat faults on their network. The new tools used to find these faults in order to reduce the number of customer interruptions (CI´s) and customer minutes los (CML´s)t on their LV networks is also discussed. The `REZAP Fault Master´ is a multi shot auto recloser fault management system with built in fault location and communications. The use of the REZAP Fault Master on Fault Management and Fault Location will be presented in this paper and how it has been utilized to develop the policies and procedures for fault management on LV networks within Alliander.
