1. If we refer to a figure in a manuscript, we shouldn't jump too far, as in Figure 1. Please also check other sections.
2. At the end of the introduction, it is customary to state the purpose or novelty clearly in the manuscript so that the reader understands quickly.
3. Currently, FIS and ANN are more commonly referred to as ANFIS terminology, should also be used as a reference. Is there a different FIS+ANN from the existing ANFIS? If it is different, the terminology can be used.
4. In determining the crisps of a fuzzy MF (input or output), it is necessary to mapping the data properties. Is the existing data linear or polynomial? This has not been revealed in the script, and suddenly appears the triangle membership function (input) and the gaussian membership function (output).
5. It is shown in Figure 3, "Aluminum Busbar….." we are not sure that the busbar is made of aluminum. Usually, busbars are made of galvanized steel coated with copper or zinc.
6. In the manuscript, the term (O, S, D) appears at least three times, but the terminology is not explained beforehand. In Table 4, how the system can obtain each parameter Occurrence, Severity, and Detection?
