Sommario/riassunto

A high impedance fault (HIF) results when an energized primary conductor comes in contact with a quasi-insulating object such as a tree, structure or equipment, or falls to the ground. The significance of these previously undetectable faults is that they represent a serious public safety hazard as well as a risk of arcing ignition of fires.
