Finding Fault Location on Overhead Transmission Lines

Identification of the fault location and correction of fault area unit vital in grid. This method improves the steadiness and accelerate the restoration of the system. This approaches for locating fault location area tavelling wave-based approach and impedance measurement based approach which ends up in complexness expensive non-homogeneity and unacceptable errors. during this paper fault location on overhead conductor mistreatment magnetoelectric machine resistive sensing element technique is planned. during this field is measured with the magnetoelectric machine resistive magnetic sensing element that is a lot of sensitive and low price. The collected knowledge may be used for distinguishing the fault sort and site of fault inside a span. Simulation were performed on typical tower configuration. The schematic diagram was developed mistreatment Simulink in matlab and kind of the fault may be detected by observant the waveforms obtained.
