Abstract: A method to locate a fault from one end of a section of a power line utilizing measurements of current, voltage and angles between the phases at a first end of said section. Symmetrical components of currents are calculated for the current and voltage measurement at the first end. A value of impedance is calculated for an extra link between the terminals with the impedance for the positive sequence equal to: <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="1"> <MATH OVERFLOW="SCROLL"> <MROW> <MROW> <MO>(</MO> <MROW> <MSUB> <MUNDER> <MI>Z</MI> <MI>_</MI> </MUNDER> <MROW> <MROW> <MROW> <MN>1</MN> <MO>⁢</MO> <MSTYLE> <MTEXT> </MTEXT> </MSTYLE> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>LB</MI> </MROW> <MO>&</MO> </MROW> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>AB</MI> </MROW> </MSUB> <MO>=</MO> <MFRAC> <MROW> <MSUB> <MUNDER> <MI>Z</MI> <MI>_</MI> </MUNDER> <MROW> <MN>1</MN> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>LB</MI> </MROW> </MSUB> <MO>⁢</MO> <MSUB> <MUNDER> <MI>Z</MI> <MI>_</MI> </MUNDER> <MROW> <MN>1</MN> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>AB</MI> </MROW> </MSUB> </MROW> <MROW> <MSUB> <MUNDER> <MI>Z</MI> <MI>_</MI> </MUNDER> <MROW> <MN>1</MN> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>LB</MI> </MROW> </MSUB> <MO>+</MO> <MSUB> <MUNDER> <MI>Z</MI> <MI>_</MI> </MUNDER> <MROW> <MN>1</MN> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>AB</MI> </MROW> </MSUB> </MROW> </MFRAC> </MROW> <MO>)</MO> </MROW> <MO>⁢</MO> <MSTYLE> <MTEXT> </MTEXT> </MSTYLE> <MO>⁢</MO> <MI>where</MI> <MO>⁢</MO> <MSTYLE> <MTEXT>:</MTEXT> </MSTYLE> </MROW> </MATH> </MATHS> Z<SUB>1AB</SUB>=impedance for the positive sequence of the extra link, Z<SUB>1LA</SUB>=positive-sequence impedance of the healthy line.
