A novel technique for short circuit fault location in distribution networks is presented. The technique computes the fault distance as reactance, based on the measurement of busbar voltages and feeding primary substation currents. The key factor is the compensation of the load currents superposed on the fault current. This leads to the accuracy, which is even better than with the previous methods, with the other difference being, that only one or two measuring device is needed, depending on the number of primary transformers at the substation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
