A power transformer (PT) in power generation or transmission is critical to maintaining electrical continuity. Fault detection on a PT is needed, especially of incipient faults, which are often caused by a turn-to-turn fault (TTF) before it develops into a more severe fault. We use a hybrid algorithm between conventional and modern techniques to detect a developing fault in a PT. The current response signals from a negative sequence current directional algorithm, extended park vector algorithm (EPVA), differential negative sequence current, and EPVA-fuzzy system are combined to distinguish the possibility of a TTF. The subalgorithms are combined using a hybrid detection algorithm to distinguish the faults. The model is a 10 MVA, three-phase PT with Δ-Y configuration 150/300 kV, simulated using MATLAB Simulink software. The results show that by combining the subalgorithms, several limitations are distinguished within the TTF with a slight increase in accuracy.

In this paper, two new methods for locating single-phase to ground faults in isolated neutral distribution networks are proposed. The methods are based on the analysis of symmetrical sequence currents. They are solely based on currents, not requiring voltage measurement. The first method employs only the zero sequence current and the second one utilizes the negative sequence current in combination with the zero sequence current. It is revealed why using only zero sequence current with a simple threshold is insufficient and may lead to false results. Using the proposed methods, earth faults with high resistances can be located in isolated neutral distribution networks with overhead lines or cables.
