Fault analysis in power systems

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on fault analysis in power systems, specifically focusing on high voltage AC systems. Participants seek resources and clarification on various aspects of fault analysis, including detection, isolation, and redundancy measures.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests materials and links to further their research in fault analysis.
  • Another participant asks for clarification on whether the inquiry pertains to DC or AC systems and the voltage level involved.
  • A participant confirms they are focusing on high voltage AC systems and expresses a desire for further input.
  • A different participant outlines several processes involved in fault analysis, including detection, isolation, redundancy, and root cause determination, and requests more details about the specific issue being addressed.
  • Resources are suggested, including a technical paper and a company that specializes in power systems training.
  • A brief mention of balanced and unbalanced fault analysis is made, though no further details are provided.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion is still open-ended, with participants seeking clarification and resources rather than reaching any consensus or resolution on specific methodologies or findings related to fault analysis.

Contextual Notes

The initial inquiry lacks specificity regarding the particular aspects of fault analysis being researched, which may affect the relevance of the resources shared.

hi there
welcome to PF

would you like to elaborate a bit please the question is a bit vague

are you dealing with DC or AC systems ? or both?
hi or low voltage ?

Dave
 
hello Dave,
I'm dealing with AC systems for now. high voltage
would like to hear from you soon
abimcdssi.
 
abimcdssi, I welcome you here, also! There are several processes here...detecting a fault, isolating a fault, building redundancy to protect critical loads, and, of course, determining the root cause of the fault. I think all this is under the heading of "fault analysis". So, will you please describe your issue in more detail? Say exactly what you are trying to do, please.
Bobbywhyedit: Have you read this technical paper?

Here's a company that seems to do what you are asking about:
