A Device for fault identification in an electrical radial network has a section
cable and a number of outgoers which can be connected thereto. The device provides
that a central control device uses fault direction signals and/or fault signals
which are formed by outgoer protective devices which each monitor one of the outgoers
to determine the position of the fault in the radial network and, if there is a
fault on the section cable, for the central control device to initiate its disconnection.
