A line end fault occurs when the end of a line is open or separated from its bus. This is not a standard bus fault. Current flows directly to the end of the line without any contributions from the bus to which the end of the line is connected.
Line End Fault Procedure
To perform a line end fault of a branch or feeder:
- Select the breaker, fuse, or switch at the end of the feeder.
-
Click the short circuit current display (1/2, 5, or 30).
- Click the Fault Bus(es) arrow and then click Fault Line End.

You can perform line end fault for only one feeder at a time.
