In a medium-voltage network, a method and a device for location of a fault on one of the lines having loaded branches. Common voltage and sum current are measured centrally prior to and after the occurrence of a fault. Positive sequence impedance of the line and a fictitious value of the positive-sequence impedance of the line, as viewed from each branch, is determined. A change of the fictitious value of two consecutive branches from a positive to a negative value is interpreted as if the fault is located on the intermediate line section. The fictitious value defines the distance on the line section from the branch with the latest positive value to the fault. The total distance to the fault is equal to the sum of the line sections up to the branch having positive values plus the distance of the faulty line section.
