Abstract:
A fault protection system for an electrical power distribution system and a method of configuring and operating a fault protection system for an electrical power distribution system accepts device fault protection parameters, such as the time-current-characteristics (TCC's), of boundary devices, and selects and sets fault protection parameters for one or more fault protection devices, such as fault-interrupters, that thus coordinate with the boundary devices. Fault protection parameter selection for each fault protection device may occur automatically, and each device may reconfigure its fault protection parameters based upon changes in the electrical power distribution system, for example, as the result of fault isolation and/or service restoration.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of providing coordinated fault protection for a distribution line coupling a source to a load, a non-communicating protection device being disposed on the distribution line with the source and the load and a fault protection device being disposed on the distribution line with the non-communicating protection device and the load; the method characterized by comprising:\n receiving fault operating characteristic data relating to the non-communicating protection device; determining a load path form the source to the load, the load path including the non-communicating protection device and the fault protection device; determining a fault operating parameter for the fault protection device based at least in part upon the fault operating characteristic data of the non-communicating protection device; activating a fault operating characteristic within the fault protection device based upon the determined fault operating parameter; and communicating the fault operating characteristic data and the fault operating parameter to other fault protection devices coupled to the distribution line.
