Function description
Fault locator
18.8.3 Application
The main objective of line protection and monitoring IEDs is fast, selective and reliable
operation for faults on a protected line section. Besides this, information on distance to fault
is very important for those involved in operation and maintenance. Reliable information on the
fault location greatly decreases the downtime of the protected lines and increases the total
availability of a power system.
The fault locator is started with the input CALCDIST to which trip signals indicating in-line
faults are connected, typically distance protection zone 1 and accelerating zone or the line
differential protection. The disturbance report must also be started for the same faults since
the function uses pre- and post-fault information from the trip value recorder function (TVR).
Beside this information the function must be informed about faulted phases for correct loop
selection (phase selective outputs from differential protection, distance protection,
directional OC protection, and so on). The following loops are used for different types of
faults:
• For 3 phase faults: Loop L1 - L2
• For 2 phase faults: The loop between the faulted phases
• For 2 phase-to-earth faults: The loop between the faulted phases
• For phase-to-earth faults: The phase-to-earth loop
LMBRFLO function indicates the distance to fault as a percentage of the line length, in
kilometers or miles as selected on the local HMI.
unit of length either, in
which is calculated with a high accuracy, is stored together with the recorded disturbances.
This information can be read on the local HMI, uploaded to PCM600 and is available on the
station bus according to IEC 61850–8–1.
