Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution networks, and more specifically to a device for tracking power distribution network fault signals. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's power distribution network, it is an undeniable fact that power failures are frequent due to a combination of factors such as aging lines, natural disasters, and human sabotage. Based on these facts, it is particularly important to quickly analyze the scope of the fault and provide visual support for rapid repair and power restoration. When a fault occurs in the DC distribution network, we not only need to locate the fault point, but also track the scope affected by the fault. In other words, we need to accurately locate and track the fault point in the DC distribution network in order to reduce the losses caused. Summary of the Invention
