This invention relates to a method (30) and system (10) for evaluating circuit protection of a power network. The method (30) includes simulating (32) a multisource, interconnected power network (40) comprising circuit protection elements (A, B, C, D), setting (33) circuit protection element parameters for each circuit protection element, simulating (35) at least one fault (42) on the power network (40) at a predetermined fault position for a predefined simulation time. In a next step, the method includes calculating (38) conductor LTE exposure and determining (39) an LTE threshold. Furthermore, the method (30) includes simultaneously graphically representing (41) a three-dimensional visualisation of the conductor LTE exposure (50) for the predefined simulation time and the LTE threshold (51), on the same three-dimensional visualisation. The method provides a wholistic approach for simulating and determining a dynamic effect of faults for chosen circuit protection settings on conductor LTE exposure compared to LTE thresholds.
