Fault classification plays a vital role in electrical systems, ensuring reliability and minimizing downtime. This study assesses how well two machine learning models—Random Forest and Logistic Regression—distinguish between fault and no-fault situations. To assess their performance, we analyzed accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, both before and after hyper parameter tuning.
