The above equations define fault-loop impedance for
phase-to-ground fault in terms of positive-sequence
impedance.
ESTIMATION OF DISTANCE TO FAULT
Based on the measured fault-loop impedance and the
cable parameters it is possible to estimate the distance to
a fault. Selected algorithm depends on the fault type: for
phase-to-phase or 3-phase fault only positive sequence
impedance calculation is needed while for phase-toground fault also zero-sequence fault-loop parameters
should be calculated. The algorithm for phase-to-phase
fault is discussed below in details.
Algorithm for phase-to-phase fault
Let us consider the equivalent positive-sequence scheme
of the fault-loop. The shunt elements represent loads at
successive nodes while the cable impedance is
represented by the series elements. Defining an
equivalent fault-loop impedance as seen from an i th
node to the fault point one obtains the following
recursive form
