A protection system is necessary in a distribution network to ensure the network remains reliable. The purpose of protection equipment in a distribution network is to minimize damage to the system. In addition, protective equipment is also useful for minimizing the spread of faults so that outages can be limited to smaller areas. Given these functions, network maneuvers are necessary, utilizing protective equipment to prevent faults from spreading further. To facilitate learning about network maneuvers, a maneuver simulation tool was developed for this final project. The results of experiments conducted on this simulation tool showed that the PMT was set to a current of 0.5 A, the recloser was set to a current of 0.5 A, and the LBS was set to a current of 0.4 A.
