Abstract

A method used for determination of the distance to the location of a fault in a power transmission line is considered. The method is based on separation of traveling waves upon a short circuit and use of statistic analysis methods for determination of the wave front. The efficiency of the proposed method is verified using a mathematical model of a power transmission line. The results of testing the devices for implementation of the proposed method for fault location are cited.
