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.
