Method for locating of single-phase-to-ground faults of ungrounded power distribution systems

摘要

The method determines shunt caused residual voltages and fault caused residual voltages on the upstream bus and the downstream bus of the line segment within a faulty feeder section of a faulty feeder. The line segment is designated as a faulty line segment when a reference angle of a faulty phase is between a first angle of a difference between an angle of the fault caused residual voltage and an angle of the shunt caused residual voltage on the upstream bus and a second angle of a difference between an angle of the fault caused residual voltage and an angle of the shunt caused residual voltage on the downstream bus. The location of the fault is determined at a point on the faulty line segment with a difference between the angles of the fault and the shunt caused residual voltages in phase with the reference angle.
