For example, if fault point resistance exceeds 500 Ω and Flt to Lod Cur ratio is below
1.0, Flt Dist quality is "36". As another example, if no error sources are found, but
stability criterion is not met, the value of Flt Dist quality is "2".
Impedance settings
The fault distance calculation in SCEFRFLO is based on the fault loop impedance
modeling. The fault loop is parametrized with the impedance settings and these can
be set at maximum for three line sections (A, B and C). Each section is enabled by
entering a section length, which ranges from zero to settings
Line Len section B or Line Len section C in the order section A-> section B-> section
C.
The earth-fault loops require both positive-sequence and zero-sequence
impedances, for example,
A and X0 line section A . For the short circuit loops, only positive-sequence
impedances are needed, but they can be omitted if the setting
equals "Enabled".
If the impedance settings are in use, it is important that the settings closely
match the impedances of used conductor types. The impedance settings are given
in primary ohms [ohm/pu] and the line section lengths in per unit [pu]. Thus,
impedances can be either given in ohm/km and section length in km, or ohm/mile
and section length in miles. The resulting Flt distance matches the units entered for
the line section lengths.
Positive-sequence impedance values
Fault location requires accurate setting values for line impedances. Positive-
sequence impedances are required both for location of short circuits and earth
faults. As data sheet impedance per unit values are generally valid only for
a certain tower configuration, the values should be adjusted according to the
