The distribution power system maintains its steady state mainly because of the correct and quick remedial action taken by the protective relaying equipment. Transient currents due to fault and switching events are common in power system. The operation of protective relay for transient due to switching condition is undesirable. The method of symmetrical components provides a technology for understanding and analyzing power system operation during unbalanced conditions and it also prevents undesirable operation due to switching. In this paper the concept of symmetrical components is used for improvement of distribution system over current protection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
