An Accurate Fault Locator With Compensation For Apparent Reactance In The Fault Resistance Resulting From Remore-End Infeed
Leif E. B. Eriksson, Murari Mohan Saha, Gabriel Rockefeller · IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems · 1985
A microprocessor based fault locator is described, which uses novel compensation techniques to improve accuracy. It displays the distance to the fault in percent of transmission line length, for facilitating repair and restoration following a permanent fault. Also, it pinpoints weak spots following transient faults.
