- Why improve MV distribution?

● To obtain the best possible power quality

The main issue is to reduce outage time and cost to the utility and its customers


- How can outage time be reduced?

● By improving MV networks:

● By improving the MV networks management:

Large number of shortsections

Redundant networks

Reliable components…

With Fault Passage Indicators (FPI’s)

Or with remote controlled load break switches

Or with fully automated reclosers and sectionalizers

Or Ring Main Units with FPI’s

- temporary faults

● Temporary faults can be cleared by the use of Automatic Circuit Reclosers (ACRs)

- temporary fault: one recloser

- permanent faults

Permanent faults cannot be cleared by automatic reclosing

To manage “permanent faults”, the

best solution is to add some “sectionalizers”

Add an FPI around each major «obstacle»…


- case 3: addition of communicating FPIs

Put several communicating FPIs in strategic locations


- case 4: addition of communicating FPIs and remote controlled load break switches

●SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) can vary from a few minutes to several hours,

●SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) can vary from 1 to 10 and more, depending on :

● population density (rural or urban area)● proportion between underground and overhead distribution● maximum accepted costs for non distributed energy
