The use of modern methods for determining the fault location (FL) on overhead power lines (OHPLs), which have high accuracy and speed, contributes to the reliable operation of power systems. Various physical principles are used in FL devices for OHPLs, as well as various algorithms for calculating the distance to the FL. Some algorithms for FL on OHPLs use emergency mode parameters (EMP); other algorithms use measurement results based on wave methods. Many random factors that determine the magnitude of the error in calculating the distance to the FL affect the operation of FL devices by EMP. Methods based on deterministic procedures used in well-known FL devices for OHPLs do not take into account the influence of random factors, which significantly increases the time to search for the fault. The authors have developed a method of FL on OHPLs based on a multi-hypothetical sequential analysis using the Armitage algorithm. The task of recognizing a faulted section of an OHPL is formulated as a statistical problem. To do this, the inspection area of the OHPL is divided into many sections, followed by the implementation of the procedure for FL. The developed method makes it possible to adapt the distortions of currents and voltages on the emergency mode oscillograms to the conditions for estimating their parameters. The results of the calculations proved that the implementation of the developed method has practically no effect on the speed of the FL algorithm for the OHPL by EMP. This ensures the uniqueness of determining the faulted section of the OHPL under the influence of random factors, which leads to a significant reduction in the inspection area of the OHPL. The application of the developed method in FL devices for OHPLs will ensure the required reliability of power supply to consumers and reduce losses from power outages by minimizing the time to search for a fault.
