Protection Functions
Fault Location
In installations where the differential communication channel is not available,
fault location can be computed using the following:
➤ Traveling wave arrival information in the TW COMTRADE
header file from both terminals (see Example 8.3)
➤ Configure a DNP client to receive the wave arrival information
from both terminals and use Equation 3.65
Figure 3.75 shows the summary command output showing the traveling wave.

Figure 3.75 Summary Command Output Showing the TW Fault Location Result
Impedance Based
This section explains the impedance-based fault location methods using
differential current and local current polarization. The relay incorporates a
multi-ended fault location algorithm to improve the numerical accuracy of
fault location and to identify faulted line sections in three- and four-terminal
applications.
Explained first is the principle of the double-ended fault location the relay
uses and then provides implementation details for three- and four-terminals
lines in the master-master and master-outstation modes.
Figure 3.76 provides a general fault diagram. We can calculate per-unit fault
location as follows:
Equation 3.66
where:
Im
= the imaginary part of a complex number
* = the complex conjugate
I
L
= the relay loop current consisting of the three-phase currents
per principles of distance protection based on the fault type
V
L
= the loop voltage at the relay location corresponding to the
loop current
Z
L
= the positive-sequence impedance of the line
I
F
= the loop current at the fault location
