Abstract

Determination of single-phase fault in medium voltage (MV) distribution network is important because this is by far the most common form of a fault. During single-phase faults, higher values of fault resistance are possible which adversely affect to the accuracy and reliability of distance determination from supplied substation (TS) to the fault place. The presented method, based on wavelet transformation, shows significant benefits during computer fault simulations. By application of this method, it is possible to locate single-phase faults in isolated and compensated distribution network as well as faults with significant values of a transient fault resistance.
