Development of a solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) fault location system for medium voltage line in Tanzania

This paper presents a fault location system designed for medium-voltage (MV) distribution lines in Tanzania, where frequent outages disrupt economic and social activities. Existing manual fault location methods are slow and costly, while high-voltage solutions are expensive and unsuitable for MV sys...
