What is the definition of ANSI 46BC - Broken conductor detection?

Broken conductor detection protection indicates an open phase condition on the circuit in a medium voltage radial network.

This may be caused by one of the following:
  • broken conductor in contact with the ground at the source side
  • broken conductor in contact with the ground at the load side
  • open circuit (conductor not in contact with the ground) caused by:
  1. broken conductor
  2. blown fuse
  3. circuit breaker pole failure.
