A method for faulted line detection of four parallel lines on the same tower is presented, based on four-summing and double-differential sequences of one terminal current. Four-summing and double-differential sequences of fault current can be calculated using a certain transformation matrix for parameter decoupling of four parallel transmission lines. According to fault boundary conditions, the amplitude and phase characteristics of four-summing and double-differential sequences of fault current is studied under conditions of different types of fault. Through the analysis of the relationship of terminal current and fault current, a novel methodology for fault line detection of four parallel transmission line on the same tower is put forward, which can pick out the fault lines no matter the fault occurs in single line or cross double lines. Simulation results validate that the methodology is correct and reliable under conditions of different load currents, transient resistances and fault locations.

The system-on-board detectable and controllable the electrical fires due to ground fault(GF), arc fault and overload is implemented. The system IC for controlling and preventing the electrical fires is available to this system. The GF detection circuit for detecting the electrical leakage current, the arc fault detection circuit and the overload detection circuit controllable the input voltage for flowing the overload current are designed. The GF detection circuit and the arc fault detection circuit are good operated to the electrical leakage current and the arc signal, respectively. It is confirmed that the overload detection circuit has shown no erratic operation with the noise or the load variation and is only operated at the overload condition.

The ionizer module used in this air cleaner supplies high voltages of 3.5KV / -4KV to the discharge electrode HV+ / HV- using a winding transformer to generate positive and negative ions by electric field radiation of carbon fiber brush. The ionizer module circuit using the existing MCU has the disadvantage of large PCB size and expensive price, and the gate driver chip using the existing ring oscillator has oscillation period sensitive to PVT (Process-Voltage-Temperature) fluctuation and there is risk of fire or electric shock because there is no fault detection function by short circuit of HV+ and GND as well as HV- and GND. Therefore, in this paper, even though PVT fluctuates, by using 7-bit binary up counter, HV+ voltage reaches the target voltage by adjusting oscillation period. And an HV+ short fault detection circuit for detecting a short circuit between HV+ and GND, an HV- short fault detection circuit for detecting a short circuit between HV- and GND, and an OVP (Over-Voltage Protection) for detecting that HV+ rises above an overvoltage are newly proposed.

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.

This paper proposes a parametric model for inter-turn fault detection in a fault-tolerant permanent-magnet (FTPM) machine, which can predict the effect of the short-circuit fault to various physical quantity of the machine. For different faulty operations, a new effective stator inter-turn fault detection method is proposed. Finally, simulations of vector-controlled FTPM machine drives are given to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, showing that even single-coil short-circuit fault could be exactly detected.

This paper presents a Daubechies wavelet-based fault detection method for fault identification in transmission lines. After the Daubechies wavelet coefficients are calculated, the proposed algorithm has been implemented difference equation using C language. We have modeled a 154kV transmission line using the ATPDraw software and have acquired test data. In order to evaluate effects of DC offset, simulations carried out while varying an inception angle of the voltage $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$. For performance evaluation, fault distance was varied. As we can see from the off-line simulation, the proposed algorithm shows rapid and accurate fault detection. Also we can see the proposed algorithm is not affected by the fault inception angle change.

The effect of sensor faults in direct torque control(DTC) based induction motor drives is analyzed and a new Instrument fault detection isolation scheme(IFDIS) is proposed. The proposed IFDIS, which operated in real-time, detects and isolates the incipient fault(s) of speed sensor and current sensors that provide the feedback information. The scheme consists of an adaptive gain scheduling observer as a residual generator and a special sequential test logic unit. The observer provides not only the estimate of stator flux, a key variable in DTC system, but also the estimates of stator current and rotor speed that are useful for fault detection. With the test logic, the IFDIS has the functionality of fault isolation that only multiple estimator based IFDIS schemes can have. Simulation results for various type of sensor faults show the detection and isolation performance of the IFDIS and the applicability of this scheme to fault tolerant control system design.

In this paper, we propose a fault diagnosis method using artificial neural network and SVM (Support Vector Machine) to detect and isolate faults in the nonlinear systems. The proposed algorithm consists of two main parts: fault detection through threshold testing using a artificial neural network and fault isolation by SVM fault classifier. In the proposed method a fault is detected when the errors between the actual system output and the artificial neural network nominal system output cross a predetermined threshold. Once a fault in the nonlinear system is detected the SVM fault classifier isolates the fault. The computer simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SVM and artificial neural network based fault diagnosis method.

A fault detection algorithm of a charge and discharge system to ensure the safe use of hybrid electric vehicle is proposed in this paper. This algorithm can be used as a complementary way to existing fault detection technique for a charge and discharge system. The proposed algorithm uses a SVDD technique, which additionally utilizes two methods for learning a large amount of data; one is to incrementally learn a large amount of data, the other one is to remove the data that does not affect the next learning using a new data reduction technique. Removal of data is selected by using lines connecting support vectors. In the proposed method, the data processing speed is drastically improved and the storage space used is remarkably reduced than the conventional methods using the SVDD technique only. A battery data and speed data of a commercial hybrid electrical vehicle are utilized in this study. A fault boundary is produced via SVDD techniques using the input and output in normal operation of the system without using mathematical modeling. A fault detection simulation is performed using both an artificial fault data and the obtained fault boundary via SVDD techniques. In the fault detection simulation, fault detection time via proposed algorithm is compared with that of the peak-peak method. Also the proposed algorithm is revealed to detect fault in the region where conventional peak-peak method is never able to do.

Vibration transient generated by developing localized fault in gear can be used as indicators in gear fault detection. In this paper, we propose the zoomed phase map for a fault signal using continuous wavelet transfers to detect this vibration transient. Local fault induces the abrupt fluctuation of load exciting tooth and phase lag in the vibration signal measured on the gearbox. The relatively large fault like "tip breakage" easily can be detected by the clear fluctuation of exciting load. However, minor fault like "initial pitting"cannot be detected using the load fluctuation. To defect this kind of minor fault, the phase map for a fault signal is taken into account. The phase lag by minor fault is observed well in the zoomed phase map.
