title = "The Recent Trend of Increasing Fault Current Levels and Mitigation Measures",
abstract = "The increased demand for power has led to the expansion of the power networks and this evolution brought with it many challenges. One of which is that power networks are experiencing increased fault current levels. This is because of growth in demand that has led to increases in generation and transmission capacity and more interconnected power system networks. Fault current levels have been increasing steadily and are at a point where mitigation measures have to be evaluated to ensure that equipment operate within designed limits. Alternatively, equipment would have to be replaced with adequately rated equipment. In some cases, replacement would have to take place prematurely, since equipment would not have reached their 'end of life'. Climate change and the shift to cleaner forms of energy have also had an influence on the network's expansion.",
