Abstract

A technique to discriminate between the line charging inrush current and the current resulting on closing or auto-reclosing a faulted EHV/UHV transmission line has been implemented on a 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) board. The technique is based on the voltage signals before switching and the current signals. This technique is proposed to be a supplement to the main protection schemes for both single-circuit and double-circuit lines. The scheme is tested on a physical model of a transmission system with a source at each end. Laboratory tests show that the proposed technique is effective for three-pole and single-pole reclosing on a faulted or healthy line.
