SUMMARYA severe fault may cause loss of synchronism of a small number of generators. And it may take many generators out of service resulting in a wide area blackout. When two groups of generators lose synchronism, the magnitude of voltage on some lines becomes zero. Therefore, an approach whereby lines with zero voltage are opened has been employed in order to prevent loss of synchronism from extension. This paper presents a new method using voltage and current measured on a line during disturbance to detect the line with zero voltage at the instant when loss of synchronism takes place. A method to detect loss of synchronism using voltage and current measured on a line was already proposed. This paper presents results of the tests performed using a power system simulator which is composed of a DC motor, a synchronous generator, artificial transmission line, circuit breaker equipment, and so on. The validity of the proposed methods was verified by finding loss of synchronism correctly.
