Line fault indicator for sabah rural distribution network

Due to Sabah’s mountainous landscape, it is very challenging to provide electrification to rural area. Distribution systems are continuously exposed to fault occurrences due to various reasons, such as lightning strike, failure of power system components and etcetera. However, due to the long-distan...
