Effect of Power Line Conductor Resistance-to-Reactance Ratio on Voltage Magnitude during Two-Phase Faults at Electric Energy Grids

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper deals with the effect of power line impedance characteristics on the retained voltage magnitude after a two-phase fault at electric power distribution or transmission networks. Specifically, the effect of resistance-to-reactance (R/X) ratio of power line conductors or cables on voltage magnitude during two-phase faults is studied with analytical mathematical expressions. The basic aim of this investigation is to create a tool for the automatic recognition of the type and the location of faults on electric power networks.
