the faults can be classified into internal and external faults. An internal fault is a fault developed inside the device; an external fault is a fault developed

Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers

against fires caused by electrical arc faults. While the sensitivity of the AFCIs helps in the detection of arc faults, these breakers can also indicate false

for each circuit. Additional protection from earth leakage RCBOs faults and arc faults AFDD may be required by BS7671 making this an expensive solution

permanent faults from transient faults. Some modern network protection systems have time to clear a fault as small as possible down to 60 ms so fault indicators

and 72kV. For overhead electric power distribution networks, up to 80-87% of faults are transient. Transient faults can occur due to various causes,

operations. The protection devices are used to protect the power systems from faults by detecting the faults and taking action ("tripping"). P. M. Anderson distinguishes

which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known

distribution substations also isolate faults in either the transmission or distribution systems. Distribution substations are typically the points of

resolution of faults Tata Power-DDL has organised a Capacity Building and Training Programme on the best practices in power distribution for employees
