Detection of cross-country fault on distance protection

Distance relay is one of protection components in transmission line. It is widely used as the main protection that gives a tripping signal to the Circuit Breaker (CB) when the fault occurs in the system. When short circuit faults occur in transmission line, the distance relays provide the protection...

Detection of cross-country fault on distance protection
description Distance relay is one of protection components in transmission line. It is widely used as the main protection that gives a tripping signal to the Circuit Breaker (CB) when the fault occurs in the system. When short circuit faults occur in transmission line, the distance relays provide the protection and trip the CB by disconnecting the faulty portion from the healthy section. The main purpose of this research is to find the detection of Cross-Country Fault (CCF) on Distance Protection (DP). During this CCF condition, the faults are in an abnormal condition.
