Abstract

In AC feeding system, the fault location is calculated by using ratio of current absorbed in the neutral point of AT(Automatic Transformer) or by measuring reactance. In this way, however, an estimation error can be happened due to the many reasons. In addition, for measuring currents in the neutral point of AT, other measuring devices and communication equipments are additionally required. In order to solve the disadvantages, this paper suggests a novel technique using the distribution ratio of catenary current. The proposed technique uses existing protective relays and measures catenary current. With the measured data, we can calculate the distribution ratio of catenary current and determine fault location. Through the simulated results, we derived the correlation between current ratio and fault location. Using this technique, additional equipments and expenses can be reduced. Besides, fault location can be determined more correctly.

AT 방식의 교류 급전시스템에서는 고장점 표정하기 위해 리액턴스 방식과 AT흡상전류비 방식을 채택하고 있다. 하지만 이 방식들은 여러 이유로 인해 표정 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 기존 방식의 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 전차선 전류 분류비를 이용하여 고장점을 표정하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 전차선 전류 분류비 방식은 기존에 전차선에 연결되어 있는 보호계전기를 사용하여 각 전차선의 전류를 측정하고 취합하여, 그 비(ratio)를 이용하여 고장지점을 표정한다. 이 방식은 기존의 기법보다 더 정확한 고장점을 표정할 수 있으며, 기존의 설치되어있는 계전기를 사용함으로써 추가 설비의 비용을 절감할 수 있다.
