An intelligent fuse provides the operational status of the power network upon whit the fuse is installed to a mobile device of a remote user. A fuse electronic circuit embedded in the fuse holder of the fuse captures the characteristic values of the power network and transmits the data to the mobile device. The mobile device ha an application installed thereon to calculate the distance to fault location from the recording fuse using the fuse electronic circuit-captured data. The fuse electronic circuit-captured data is further used to visualize the data collected at the measurement points of the electrical system upon which the fuse is installed. 种智能熔断器将安装熔断器的功率网络的操作状态提供至远程用户的移动设备。嵌入熔断器的熔断器保持件中的熔断器电子电路捕获功率网络的特征值并将数据发送至移动设备。移动设备具有安装在其上的应用程序以使用熔断器电子电路捕获的数据计算出从记录的熔断器到故障位置的距离。熔断器电子电路捕获的数据被进步用于使在安装熔断器的电系统的测量点处收集的数据可视化。
