Abstract
A fast method is presented for obtaining a first estimate of the expec ted number of spurious trips due to voltage sags. The method is based on an expression for the so called critical distance (the radius of th e exposed area in which faults lead to equipment trips) in radial syst ems. Extensions of the method for nonradial systems, and transfer of s ags due to single-phase and phase-to-phase faults to lower voltages ar e also presented.
