According to the generating process and propagation characteristics of earth-fault transient signal, an earth-fault location method for distribution network based on transient signal is presented. In the method, in order to change line characteristic impedance, a resonant filter circuit is paralleled in line segment border, so that it could cause transient current energy differences in feature frequency band on both sides of detection device. The location method achieves earth-fault area location through comparing transient current energy and energy attenuation coefficient in feature frequency band. The simulation test result shows that the method isn't influenced by distribution system grounded style, operation style and other factors and which could detect the earth-fault area rapidly and reliably in distribution network and has a high project application value.

The paper analyzes the utilization of cable screen currents for earth fault identification and location. Attention is paid on cable and mixed feeders—cable and overhead lines. The principle of operation is based on utilization of 3 criterion values: Ratio of cable screen earthing current and zero sequence cable core current—RF110/15, phase shift between cable screen earthing current and zero sequence cable core current—α and cable screen admittance defined as a ratio of cable screen earthing current and zero sequence voltage—Y0cs. Earth fault location is possible thanks to discovered relation between RF110/15 and α, whereas Y0cs allows for reliable detection of earth faults. Detection and identification are very important because it allows to increase the reliability of supply—reduce downtime and number of consumers affected by the fault. The article presents a phase to ground fault current flow for different power system configurations. At the end solution, which improves location capabilities is proposed. The solution is analyzed in PSCAD software and verified by network experiment.
