            Abstract : 
In this work an artificial neural network based methodology is proposed for power systems fault location. Several artificial neural networks are employed, each of them being responsible for detecting faults involving a limited number of components. The proposed methodology is tested using a test system and a real Brazilian system. Indexes based on the Hamming distance are also proposed for feature selection and analysis
