LV Historic Faults — SPENOpenDataPortal

The "LV Historic Faults" dataset provides all unplanned occurrences / interruptions of 3 minutes or longer on the SPEN network from 1st April 2014.

Any occurrence on the SPEN network which:

a) affects the distribution system or other connected electricity supply system, which involves a physical break in the circuit upstream of the customers interrupted (or circuit affected), for three minutes or longer, due to automatic or manual operation of switchgear or fusegear, or due to any other open circuit condition, which:

results in an interruption of supply to customer(s) for three minutes or longer; or
prevents a circuit or item of equipment from carrying normal load current or being able to withstand “through fault-current” for three minutes or longer.

b) causes the un-programmed isolation of any circuit or item of equipment, energised at power system voltage, which has not been classified as a pre-arranged incident;

c) causes failures of non-system equipment (e.g. pilot cables, oil and gas alarms, voltage control equipment etc.) which result in the disconnection of equipment energised at power system voltage; incorrect operations of protection equipment which result in the interruption of a circuit energised at power system voltage;

d) causes failures by protection equipment to operate. This includes incidents where the main protection fails to operate and a fault clearance is initiated by back-up protection or protection at another point on the network;

e) causes any interruption to supply to customers caused by incidents on other connected systems owned by the National Grid/Transmission Companies (in Scotland), other distribution businesses, embedded generators, that arises from loss of supply to these systems.

IIP Reporting Scheme Code

For the purpose of the Scheme,
An EHV system is one which operates at a nominal voltage equal to or greater than 22 kV, but less than 132 kV
an HV system is one which operates at a nominal voltage in excess of 1000 V but less than 22 kV.
An LV system is one which operates at a nominal voltage of 1000 V or less.
