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 1):
A fault protection system, comprising:\n a distribution line, the distribution line connecting a source via a non-communicating protection device to a load; a fault protection device disposed within the distribution hue with the non-communicating protection device and the load; the fault protection device being operable to isolate the source from a fault in the distribution line between the fault protection device and the load; the fault projection device including a controller, a memory coupled to the controller and a fault isolation operator coupling a source side of the distribution line to a load side of the distribution line, the fault isolation operator being responsive to the controller; and characterized by the controller being operable to receive or to be pro crammed with fault operating characteristic data of the non-communicating protection device and further being operable upon the fault operating characteristic data to determine a fault operating parameter for the fault protection device and to store the fault operating parameter in the memory; such that, in operation the fault isolation operator is operable responsive to the controller to provide fault isolation in the distribution line based upon the fault operating parameter; and the controller being further operable to communicate the fault operating characteristic data of the non-communicating protection device and the fault operating parameter to other fault protection devices in the fault protection system.
