Anyone have a statistic of how many distribution faults are temporary vs. permanent?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Percentage of temporary faults vs. permanent faults
The next greatest number of faults are distribution transformer failures. These faults are cleared by the later, longer reclosings of the reclosers.
Look for recloser brochures on manufacturers web sites. They will usually quote statistics.
