Laboratory Test Results for the Travelling Wave Fault Location Scheme
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article describes the travelling wave fault location algorithm for high voltage lines based on wavelet transform. The algorithm is implemented in a prototype and tested in the laboratory. The article presents the hardware and software part of a travelling wave fault locator, methodology and test results.
