heal.abstract	The maximum length of a low-voltage distribution line (400 V) is determined by the transformer power, the type and cross-section of the conductors as well as the nominal current of the fuse. By meeting this requirement, the neutralisation condition is fulfilled. A low-voltage distribution network bare conductor being abrupted can cause deadly electrocution to a person or start up a fire. Relative foresight is needed in altering the regulations, so as to exclude the fore-mentioned consequences to humans and the environment. The protection method comprises a system utilising the global system for mobile communications placed on the last pole of each line, which is activated when a line is cut off and powers down the circuit through an automatic circuit breaker installed upon the low-voltage distribution panel. © 2010 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.	en
