Abstract
A Low Voltage, 'LV', network automation system is provided which enables utilities to remotely identify location of LV faults on their networks, isolate these faults and re-energizing the healthy LV circuit by remote control. The hardware for this system is designed to be retrofitted into existing LV switchgears and panels which enables the network changeover to be done cost effectively and with minimum interruption to the network. The system also enables utilities to monitor load flows on the LV networks and identify circuits which are overloaded and gives control room operator options for redistribution of network load where possible.
