AB  - Occurrences of high impedance faults are common in power distribution between substation to rural
area and within rural area. High impedance faults are detected based on fault current measured by fault
detection devices but an important fault is the downed or broken power line fault not touching the ground
cannot be detected when there is not enough faults current to operate fault detection devices in over head
power distribution. Many methods to find high impedance faults exist. However, no proper method exists to
find the downed or broken power line fault not touching the ground .Such a condition represents no electrical
abnormality and till now its detection would probably have to depend on visual sighting. This is a major safety
concern for the public. At present there are no electrical techniques to detect this fault with 100% accuracy with
less cost. This study proposes detection of downed or broken power line fault not touching the ground
by F-PLCCG. The proposed method is applied to 3-phase system/single phase system and finds the
fault in sec.
