This course
covers three types of faults in electrical power grids: open lines, lines
shorted to ground, and lines shorted to each other. Methods of locating faults
are covered, along with an analysis of the effects. Methods of protection and
fault isolation are also covered. (Prerequisites: ECE 495) Three Credits
