It can isolate all short circuit faults in the loop within 300 ms and restore the supply of healthy sections in less than 1.2 s. A reliable fault location method of isolating the single phase-to-ground fault （SPGF） in the non-effectively earthed network, which makes use of the fault generated transient signals, is also proposed. And the method locates the SPGF by examining transient zero-mode current correlation, which is not influenced by the neutral grounding mode and need no additional device. Laboratory test and simulation results show the proposed techniques are feasible, and significantly improve the supply reliability.展开更多

The errors caused by the method with the symmetrical distributed parameter circuit model as the equivalent circuit of the un-transposed ultra high voltage(UHV) transmission line were studied under both normal operation and fault,and the corresponding problems arising were pointed out. By contrast with electromagnetic transient and power electronics(EMTPE) simulation results with the asymmetrical distributed parameter circuit model of un-transposed line, it is shown that the conventional method cannot show the existence of negative and zero sequences before fault happening and there are many errors on voltage and current after fault happening which are different with fault types. The error ranges of voltage and current are 2.13%-81.13% and -7.82%- -86.15%, respectively.展开更多

The technique utilizes the small capacitive current measured in the open-phase plus the currents in the two healthy phases in calculating the open-circuit fault distance. The results obtained show that a distance relay with the proposed scheme will not only be able to detect the open-conductor condition in HVTL （high voltage transmission line） but also to locate the place of this fault regardless the value of the pre-fault current loading. There is no need for especial communication schemes since the existing media could work properly for the needs of the proposed technique.展开更多

The current limiting principle of the FCL and the bias current influence on the characteristic of the FCL axe discussed. The experiments on the 220 V/50 A test model show that the FCL can limit the fault current swiftly and effectively. Under the normal state, the bias current adjustment can change the FCL voltage loss; under the fault state, the steady fault current can be easily adjusted to the preset level by bias current regulating. The experimental result is in accordance with the principle analysis and the FCL has the advantages of flexible control strategy and simple and reliable structure.展开更多
