Description
Summary:This paper presents a method for detecting, classifying and localizing faults in MV distribution networks. This method is based on only two samples of current or voltage signals. The fault detection, faultclassification and fault localization are based on the maximum value of current and voltage as a function of time. A study is presented in this work to evaluate the proposed method.A comparative study between current and voltage method detection has been done to determine which is the fastest. In addition, the classication and localization of faults were made by the same method using two samples signal. Simulation with results have been obtained by using MATLAB / Simulink software. Results are reported and conclusions are drown.
