AI Technical Summary
Existing single-phase grounding fault location and ranging methods for collector lines require clock synchronization and low-latency data transmission between the start and end terminals of the collector line, which is difficult to apply in practice and has high costs.
By collecting fault data from each feeder terminal, the upstream feeder terminal is determined. The main resonant frequency is determined using the autocorrelation function of transient zero-sequence voltage or current. An equivalent model of the full-frequency zero-sequence network for a single-phase grounding fault in the collector line is established. The main resonant frequency of the simulated fault point is calculated, and the distance to the fault point is calculated based on the frequency difference.
It achieves accurate location of single-phase grounding fault points in the collector wire, reduces location costs, and does not rely on clock synchronization and low-latency data transmission between the start and end terminals.
