Single Phase Earth Fault Location in the Medium Voltage Distribution NetworksThis paper gives a description of the single phase earth fault location methods in the medium voltage networks. The single phase earth fault location in the medium voltage distribution networks is problematic now. The technical devices which are using in Latvia now do not allow to detect the single phase earth faults fast and high accuracy. Fast earth fault location should be possible by using the equipments which are calculating distance to earth faults. But precisely calculate the distance to the single phase earth faults in the medium voltage networks is very difficult. The paper presents the single earth fault location methods including the calculation methods for fault distance.
