Abstract :
This paper presents the VLF test method for distribution network feeders. The goal was to perform an evaluation to determine whether the VLF method can produce a substantial benefit over the traditional DC test in terms of predictability and confidence regarding the meantime between failures of network feeders during the summer peak season.
