Abstract
A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for fault detection in an electrical network. An inductance between a reference point and a fault is determined at a first time based on measuring a fault current. A resistance between the reference point and the fault may be determined at a second time based on measuring a differential of the fault current as zero. A location of the fault may be identified based on the inductance and the resistance.
