Based on the status of 10 kV distribution network fault, this paper proposed a feeder automation construction idea with outage management and control in terms of knowing-power outage, decreasing-power outage and avoiding-power outage. The self-healing feeder automation model of the main lines, branch lines and user lines were investigated, which provided reference for choosing the mode of feeder automation. The engineering practice proves that outage failure management and control is necessary to feeder automation construction.
