Faults in power lines occur when there is a disruption in the flow of electricity, often caused by physical damage, weather conditions, or equipment failure. These faults can lead to short circuits, which may result in power outages or even fires. Common causes include falling trees, heavy winds, or animals coming into contact with the lines. To detect and address these faults, utility companies use various technologies, such as smart sensors and drones. These tools help identify issues quickly, allowing for timely repairs and minimizing the impact on customers. Regular maintenance is also essential to prevent faults from occurring.
