Power distribution feeders contains many laterals, sub-laterals, different number of circuit line, load taps, balanced and unbalanced load, different type of lines (cable or overhead), different cross-sections and numerous distribution transformers with different capacities. Moreover, the voltage and current are measured only at the beginning of the feeder. Thus, fault location is very complex....

Power transformers are the most important components of a power system, so their protection is a critical issue. This paper proposes a novel and efficient algorithm based on the high-frequency components of the differential current signal to discriminate between the magnetizing inrush currents and the internal faults. After detecting the over-current in the differential current signals, samples...
