Mb. Djuric et al., DIGITAL SIGNAL-PROCESSING ALGORITHM FOR ARCING FAULTS DETECTION AND FAULT DISTANCE CALCULATION ON TRANSMISSION-LINES, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS, 19(3), 1997, pp. 165-170
In this paper a new digital signal processing algorithm for arcing fau
lt detection and fault distance calculation is presented Tt was derive
d by processing the line terminal voltages and currents. A simple squa
re wave are voltage model was assumed to represent the long are in fre
e air. The unknown model parameters (the line resistance and inductanc
e, and are voltage amplitude) were estimated by using the least square
s error technique. The new algorithm was successfully tested by comput
er simulated and laboratory tests. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
