A Novel Method for Detection of Covered Conductor Faults in Medium Voltage Overhead Line Systems.

Although there are many reasons why medium voltage (MV) overhead lines with covered conductors (CCs) are used instead of aluminum-conductor steel-reinforced cables, the operation of CCs takes into account a difficult detection of faults, e.g., the contact of a tree branch with a CC. In this paper, we continue with the previous work on an electric voltage-based method enabling the detection of the ...
