Abstract
Any reliable transmission line protection scheme is expected to quickly detect faults and isolate the faulted section immediately. Ability to locate the fault, further helps fast restoration of service in case of permanent faults or identifying the weak spots in the system. This paper explores different fault detection and location algorithms and their performance is analyzed using different types of faults, fault resistance and inception angles. Influence of series compensation on fault location is also studied. Two fault detection techniques i.e. moving-sum approach and cumulative-sum approach are evaluated. Fault location is done by using travelling wave theory, which is utilized in capturing the travel time of the transients along the monitored lines between the fault point and relay. Wavelet transform is used for analyzing power system fault transients in order to capture the travel time. Performance of location algorithms for both single ended and two ended measurements is analyzed. Results of the performance studies on the algorithms for detection and the location with compensated and uncompensated lines are presented. The performance of the algorithm is tested in MATLAB simulation environment.

Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips

Volume 5 Issue 4 September - November 2017 Research Paper Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips Cengiz Polat* Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. Uzunoglu, C. P. (2017). Continuous Over Voltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems,  5(4), 1-7.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.5.4.13938 Abstract Increasing applications of constantly developing electronic devices require delicate voltage and current protection. Although the electrical network is monitored continuously, undesired over currents and over voltages may occur on the distribution system due to failures. Most of the electronic switch gear is connected via surge protected power strips in indoor applications, where current protection is vital. Surge protected power strips are usually manufactured based on Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) ...
