High impedance fault(HIF) is defined as fault the general overcurrent relay can not detect or interrupt. Especially when HIF occur in residential areas, energized high voltage conductor results in fire hazard, equipment damage or personal threat. This paper proposes the model of the high impedance fault in transmission line using the ZnO arrester and resistance to be implemented within EMTP. The performance of the proposed model is tested on a typical 154[kV] korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Wavelet transform is efficient and useful for the detection of high impedance fault in power system, because it uses variable windows according to frequency. In this paper, HIF detection method using wavelet transform can distinguish HIF form similar fault like arcfurance load, capacitor bank switching and line switching.
