Abstract :
This paper presents a new completely automatic fault detection and location method for low voltage power distribution networks (LVPDN). This method is applied to time domain reflectometry (TDR) signals. The scope of the research work is to improve the accuracy of the existing TDR methods and automate the processes of fault detection and location
