Introduction. A significant proportion of earth faults in 6 - 35 kV networks is a transient and short-lived process, which is followed by an electric arc. Problem. In such cases, earth-fault protection that responds to steady-state current and voltage is not able to operate properly. Also, the use of the Petersen coil to compensate for the capacitive earth fault current complicates the protection function because it significantly reduces the single phase earth fault current in steady state. Purpose. To develop selective single-phase earth faults protection algorithm using harmonic components that occur in zero-sequence currents and voltage in the transient process. Method. A mathematical model of the power supply system is applied to study the frequency components of currents and voltage of zero sequence in compensated electrical networks with phase-to-earth faults, and a mathematical model is used to test the operation of the developed protection algorithm. The results showed that, the reactive power for harmonic components of the frequency greater than 100 Hz, which are separated from the current and voltage of zero sequence in compensated electrical networks on the damaged feeder, is positive regardless of the degree of compensation of the capacitive current. That may be the basis of the principle of directional protection. Originality. Phase-to-earth fault selective protection algorithm has been developed. In that algorithm, first derivatives of currents and voltages of zero sequence are found, to reduce the influence of aperiodic components. And then, by using of the Fourier transform, a number of harmonic orthogonal components are extracted from them. Reactive power is calculated for each of frequency component and their total sum is found. If that sum excess of threshold, the relay will make a decision. The reliability of the developed protection algorithm is confirmed by the results of mathematical modeling and verification of the test sample at the laboratory stand and by means of field signals that were recorded by digital loggers at the substations.References
