Thefaults in the underground cables cause to generatetransients which propagate along the power cable as travelling waves. The velocity of the generated travelling wave and the time taken by a wave to reach the source point from the fault location enables us to calculate the fault distance value.In this paper a double endedtravelling wave based approach is used and a communication channel is designed to calculate the fault distance. A circuit-based model is developed in the EMTP-RV software to find out the fault distance from the source end for all types of faults. Further it is proved that the fault distance is unaffected by the change in ground resistance, various types of faults and the fault inception angle in the proposed method

In order to enhance the reliability of traveling wave fault location (TWFL) systems, an improved wide area traveling wave fault location (WA-TWFL) algorithms is presented in this paper. In the disturbance area that near to the fault position, we can first get the possible fault positions by using the outgoing path data from the substation that first records the initial traveling wave, then use the possible fault position to verify the reasonableness of data recorded. The fault position that has no counter-example in logical is the real fault position. EMTP simulation verifies the validity and applicability of this algorithm.
