Abstract

The application of the wavelet-based algorithm for arcing high-impedance fault detection medium-voltage (MV) distribution networks is presented in this paper. This paper describes continuation of research on HIF detection with particular reference to algorithm application in solidly grounded MV networks. The results obtained by use of the improved version of the algorithm are presented. The algorithm performance was tested using data obtained from staged HIGFET in a real MV network as well as from EMTP-ATP simulations. Satisfactory results of the algorithm performance were observed for all examined HIF cases in which the ground fault current was greater than 3 A root mean square. The improved algorithm also proved to be more immune to transients generated during switching operations in protected feeders and to capacitor bank switching.
