A Survey on the Characteristics and Requirements of Electricity Distribution Safety Technology

Electrical energy is the basic requirement for the economic development of any country. In today’s culture, electricity is a vital part of functioning as a society, we use it almost every minute. There are many causes of Blackout due to damage to electrical transmission lines. In places where environmental and public safety is at risk, power failure is particularly critical. In this 21st Century, we are using a radical and interconnected distribution network. Firstly, it briefs distribution used today which has more advantages. Secondly, the safe overhead power transmission techniques for low voltage AC distribution; special challenges to operational safety, power quality, reliability, especially focus on the open circuit fault identification techniques and reason for power outages were discussed. Further, the major impact as a result of the overhead power distribution line gets terminated, and earthing of live wire may electrocute the living things and affects public safety were discussed. Finally, the characteristics and requirements that are to be considered for these fault identification techniques are discussed for line termination in LT (230v/415v) power distribution.
