In a distributed Electrical Power System Faults are the major problem for regular supply to the consumers. A low impedance fault in electrical power distribution system is distinguished by a non-linear and unstable varying fault current due to type of fault. In this combined approach of Wavelet and Artificial Neural Network is used for identification and classification of all types of faults in...

The electrical system of the construction machinery usually works on circumstance of high temperature, serious vibration and shock, dust pollution as well as electromagnetic interference, so the electrical system is very likely to go wrong while compared with other systems, for example working attachment, under chassis and so on. In view of this, an advanced fault test device, with application ...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t System failures, for example in electrical power systems, can have catastrophic impact on human life and high-cost missions. Due to an electrical fire in Swissair flight 111 on September 2, 1998, all 229 passengers and crew on board sadly lost their lives. A battery failure most likely took place on the Mars Global Surveyor, which unfortunately last communi...

Arc faults can produce very high temperatures and can easily ignite combustible materials; thus, they represent one of the most important causes of electrical fires. The application of arc fault detection, as an emerging early fire detection technology, is required by the National Electrical Code to reduce the occurrence of electrical fires. However, the concealment, randomness and diversity of...

Arc fault is one of the primary reasons that cause electrical fire. In power supply line, if arc fault occurs, the currents can not make protective equipments act, the arc fault can not be found easily, so electrical fire comes into being. Based on LabWindows/CVI, experimental studied the on-line arc fault detection system. AT89S51 Single Chip Microcomputer is used as lower computer, based on L...

In this paper, we adopt a novel applied approach to fault analysis based on data mining theory. In our researches, global information will be introduced into the electric power system, we are using mainly cluster analysis technology of data mining theory to resolve quickly and exactly detection of fault components and fault sections, and finally accomplish fault analysis. The main technical con...

Fault detection and isolation in a complex system are research hotspots and frontier problems in the reliability engineering field. Fault identification can be regarded as a procedure of excavating key characteristics from massive failure data, then classifying and identifying fault samples. In this paper, based on the fundamental of feature extraction about the fault coefficient, we will discu...

Fault detection and electrical system monitoring (management) for aircraft/spacecraft dc or 400 Hz electrical systems is presented. Real-time ‘snapshot’ data is collected from current and voltage measurement transducers on radial or loop aircraft electrical system and introduced into a State Estimator. The State Estimator ‘smoothes’ the data, detects bad transducers, and calculates the best est...

This paper presents the impact study of apparent reactance injected by series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. Thyristor Controlled Series Reactor (TCSR) on the measured impedance of a 400 kV single electrical transmission line in the presence of phase to earth fault with fault resistance. The study deals with an electrical transmission line of Eastern Algerian transmission networks...
