In this paper, we will treat the diagnosis problem to accurately determine fault types. The judgement of fault types is accomplished by observing the cluster newly formed with faults and clustering the input current waveforms to intrinsically show the conditions with the dignet that is a clustering algorithm. The types of input current waveforms are, however, constrained during normal operation, though it considers the load character. In case of faults. new clusters are generated outside the clusters. which appear during normal operation, because the input current waveforms of the induction motor are generated by the type which is not observed in case of faults. The diagnosis about the types of faults is essential to building a fault tree about the induction motor, and it removes the causes of the faults using a fuzzy logic. We, first, constitute a fault tree, which connects with the parts and the entire system of the induction motor, and investigate fault modes which can be generated from the fault tree and the relationship of the cause and the effect of each part (of the motor). Also, we distinguish the faults of each part by means of inducing the said of fuzzy relation equations encapsulating the relationship of the fault modes and each part.

In this paper, we propose a distance relaying algorithm using a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-based modified phasor estimation method to eliminate the adverse influence of exponentially decaying DC offsets. Most distance relays are based on estimating phasors of the voltage and current signals. A DFT is generally used to calculate the phasor of the fundamental frequency component in digital protective relays. However, the output of the DFT contains an error due to exponentially decaying DC offsets. For this reason, distance relays have a tendency to over-reach or under-reach in the presence of DC offset components in a fault current. Therefore, the decaying DC components should be taken into consideration when calculating the phasor of the fundamental frequency component of a relaying signal. The error due to DC offsets in a DFT is calculated and eliminated using the outputs of an even-sample-set DFT and an odd-sample-set DFT, so that the phasor of the fundamental component can be accurately estimated. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated for a-phase to ground faults on a 345 kV, 50 km, simple overhead transmission line. The Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) is used to generate fault signals. The evaluation results indicate that adopting the proposed algorithm in distance relays can effectively suppress the adverse influence of DC offsets.

On this research, to catch up with international trend on the power system utilities move to be digitalized and move to network is certainly technological on the global business world, to compete with advanced foreign countries in the range of transmit and distribute power system and to take possession of first market share within country, we talked over a monitoring system to diagnose, monitor ACB(Air Circuit Breaker) only which is operated on the low level voltage Power plant. AMS(ACB Monitoring System) have be configured with several modules such as engine module which acquire engineering data from HICM360/860(Communication Control Units) and analyze and save it, database module which restore data and can be inquired, system monitoring view module which reflects fields information within a second, realtime trend window, historical trend window, reports as daily and yearly. In a near future, AMS must upgrade GUI to have easy to handle and have to have a field test to fit on real plants, so it will have faith in system reliability as it can apply power plant monitoring system in wide.
