The post fault 22 kV network is shown in Figure Q2a. The network is only protected by overcurrent relay and the 8 tripped breakers activated by overcurrent relays are shown in white rectangles in Figure Q2a. The overcurrent relay settings for each feeder are shown in Table Q2a, and the load at each node in Table Q2b.

(a) Identify the possible fault location. Give reasons to support your fault diagnose inference.
(10 marks)
(b) The fault is subsequently cleared and supply has been all restored. However, on the next day, all breakers connected to Bus1 failed and cannot be closed as shown in Figure Q2b. As a result the feeder from Bus2 to Bus7 tripped resulting in a loss of supply to Bus1, Bus3, Bus4, Bus7, Bus9, Bus10, Bus13, Bus15, Bus16 and Bus17. List the appropriate switching steps so that supply to all nodes can be fully restored, or to as many nodes as possible. Determine the two highest-loading circuits in amperes and also nodes that supply cannot be restored if any.
