  "id": "MLC-T-ENV-009662",
  "term": "Enhanced Fault Detection Technology",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Enhanced fault detection technology enables higher precision and greater discrimination of fault location and type with coordinated measurement among multiple devices. For distribution applications, this technology can detect and isolate faults without full-power re-closing, reducing the frequency of through-fault currents. For transmission applications, this technology will employ high speed communications between multiple elements (e.g., stations) to protect entire regions.",
