In this paper, a fuzzy expert off-line system has been developed for fault diagnosis in the distribution network based on the structural and functional operation of the relay and circuit breakers. Functional operations (correct operation, false operation and failure to operate) of the relays and circuit breakers are described by fuzzy logic. Input data for the proposed fuzzy expert fault diagnosis system (FDS) are status and time stamps of the alarms, associated with relays and circuit breakers. The diagnostic system from a huge number of alarms sets, logically organizes and quantifies the diagnosis. FDS can diagnose correct operation, false operation and failure to operate of the relays and circuit breakers. Also, it can identify and quantify fault location based on the Hamacher’s operator of a fuzzy union. The additional contribution of this paper is in modeling unknown information using linear fuzzy membership function. Statuses of certain components may be unknown due to telemetry failures or are simply unavailable to the operator and proposed FDS can make diagnosis in such a situation. Developed fuzzy expert FDS is tested on the two examples of faults in real life distribution network
