Abstract

A thyristor controlled ground fault current limiting system (TGCL) was proposed to prevent one-line ground fault current rises due to increased capacitance to ground. Basic components of the TGCL are a main ground fault current limiter, which rapidly adjusts a compensating reactor level for the capacitance to ground, and the TGCL's controller. Control is ensured by an in-phase control method for zero-phase sequence voltage and current. The method determines the direction of ground faults and the compensating reactor level. The fast control which can be realized shows the TGCL is a valuable protecting system for high ground fault current distribution systems.
