Abstract :
Highly accurate distribution system fault location is possible by combining lightning location data with fault monitor disturbance data and distribution feeder location (GIS) data. A 13-month monitoring and investigation program (June 1998-July 1999) was conducted on a rural electric cooperative distribution system to test the concept
