Fault Location
Safety and Reliability in Modern Power Networks
Fault location is a critical function in modern electricity distribution, helping utilities to quickly identify and respond to issues on the network. By accurately locating the source of faults, these systems reduce downtime, improve safety, and enhance overall network reliability. As power grids become more complex, accurate and efficient fault location has become essential optimising performance and minimising service interruptions.
Rapid Detection
There are clear operational benefits in reducing the time to locate faults and restore the network.
This is critical to ensuring the safety of the general public, restoring network stability and saving operational costs.
Network Downtime
Accurate fault location provides a much-improved network from a performance perspective, offering higher uptime, by reducing Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) and System Average Interruption Duration index (SAIDI).
Creating Intelligent Networks through Innovative Solutions
AIQ is a leading solutions provider specialising in advanced monitoring and fault detection for electricity distribution networks. With a deep understanding of industry challenges, AIQ develops technologies that address real-world operational needs. The Insight L700 system stands out for its precision, reliability, and ability to operate across all earthing treatments—made possible by innovations in time synchronisation, hybrid power, and intelligent algorithms.
Delivering Clarity in Complex Networks
As power networks grow in complexity, the need for precise, real-time visibility has never been more critical. Traditional fault location methods often struggle with accuracy or adaptability across different network configurations, leading to longer outages, increased operational costs, and reduced confidence in system reliability.
