Brief Description: | This guide shall outline the techniques and application considerations for determining the location of a fault on AC transmission and distribution lines. The authors review traditional approaches and the primary measurement techniques used in modern devices: one-terminal and two-terminal impedance-based methods and traveling wave methods. Application considerations include: two- and three-terminal lines, series compensated lines, parallel lines, un-transposed lines, underground cables, fault resistance effects, and other power system conditions, including those unique to distribution systems.
