N2  - This  thesis  proposes  an  algorithm  to  identify  and  locate  faults  on  the  distribution  system. The algorithm consists of two processes. Firstly,  the impedance rule base is used to detect  and  identify  the  type  of  fault.  Secondly,  fault  boundary  factor  (K)  and  a  geographic   information system (GIS) are applied to evaluate the possible fault location. The  potential  of  the  algorithm  is  promising  for  practical  use.  Average  distance  errors  are   less than 4.5%. The service restoration process will also be significantly faster. In addition,  time  spent  by  maintenance  crews  to  locate  the  faults  will  be  considerably  decreased  from   4-5 hours per case to approximate 1 hour per case in daytime and from 8-12 hours per case  to  approximate  2  hours  per  case  in  night  time.  Temporary  faults  can  be  also  identified  by   the  technique  described  in  this  thesis.  The  identification  of  particular  areas  with  a  high   number of short duration faults are  useful for maintenance workers.
