Automatic fault location for underground low voltage distribution networks.

This paper describes an automatic fault location technique for permanent faults in underground LV distribution networks (ULVDNs). It uses signals from an existing time domain reflectometry (TDR) instrument. It pre-processes TDR signals to eliminate reflections due to single-phase tee-offs, and to lo...
