Multi-end fault locator (FL-A and FL-Z)
The function of multi-end fault locator (FL) can determine a fault location on lines with high
reliability; it is useful in case of power system failure. The following two calculations run in
the FL; then the FL selects one of the calculation results to provide a fault location.
(1)
FL calculation with data at a local-terminal and
remote-terminals
(2)
FL calculation with data at a local-terminal only

Note: Several IED models do not have fault locator features. To determine whether the
features are implemented in the IED or not, locate the IED ordering number; and check the
order number at “G&T position” referring to the comparison table below. For more information,
