Zm. Radojevic et al., SPECTRAL-DOMAIN ARCING FAULT RECOGNITION AND FAULT DISTANCE CALCULATION IN TRANSMISSION-SYSTEMS, Electric power systems research, 37(2), 1996, pp. 105-113
A new numerical algorithm for recognizing arcing faults for the purpos
e of automatic reclosing is presented. The fault distance can also be
calculated using this algorithm. The solution for both symmetrical and
unsymmetrical faults is given. A simple empirical are voltage model i
s obtained through a table of numerical values. By means of computer s
imulation and laboratory testing it is shown that the algorithm ca? be
used as an effective tool in transmission and distribution system pro
tection.
