to the fault from the currents and voltages at one line end. If this is not done, the
accuracy of the calculated figure will vary with the load flow and the amount of
additional fault resistance.
The calculation algorithm used in the fault locator in compensates for the effect of double-
end infeed, additional fault resistance and load current.
15.5.2.2
Accurate algorithm for measurement of distance to fault
Figure
shows a single-line diagram of a single transmission line, that is fed from
both ends with source impedances Z
A
and Z
B
. Assume that the fault occurs at a
distance F from IED A on a line with the length L and impedance Z
L
. The fault
resistance is defined as R
F
. A single-line model is used for better clarification of the
algorithm.
