An exemplary electrical network in form of a ring system includes a plurality of infeed transformers which are arranged in parallel between a sourcing busbar/cable system and a ring load busbar/cable system. A junction point connects each infeed transformer to the ring load busbar/cable system. The network includes a plurality of current limiters, where each current limiter is positioned between two junction points. Upon a fault event of an infeed transformer, two current limiters on both sides of a respective junction point of the faulted infeed transformer are simultaneously tripped in order to reduce current in the ring load busbar/cable system.

A power distribution system (that can detect an unsafe fault condition where an individual or object has come in contact with the power conductors) regulates the transfer of energy from a source to a load. Periodically, the source controller opens an S1 disconnect switch, a and load controller opens an S2 disconnect switch. A capacitor represents the capacitance across the load terminals. If the capacitor discharges at a rate higher or lower than predetermined values after the S1 and S2 disconnect switches are opened, then a fault condition is registered, and the S1 and S2 switches will not be commanded to return to a closed position, thus isolating the fault from both the source and the load.

A method detects a glowing contact in a power circuit. The method applies at least two different resistance values across the power circuit and responsively senses at least two voltages across the power circuit. Each of the at least two voltages correspond to one of the at least two different resistance values. Then, the method determines if a number of changes in the sensed at least two voltages with respect to a number of changes in the at least two different resistance values is linear within a predetermined range or if a change in two of the sensed at least two voltages does not increase with a decrease in two of the at least two different resistance values and, otherwise, responsively generates at least one of a trip signal and an alarm signal corresponding to detecting the glowing contact in the power circuit.
