1 Introduction Historically, distribution networks were small and simple to install, and their generation capacities were limited [1]. Therefore, fault currents did not pose a significant risk when faults occurred; consequently, conventional protection devices, such as circuit breakers (CBs), fuses, and overcurrent relays, were used to detect and interrupt fault currents, thereby disconnecting and isolating the faulted section from the rest of the network [2].
