Abstract :
Signal processing hardware and software that can be used to improve the detection of certain power system faults using computer relays are discussed. Integrated systems and architectures for monitoring several fault-sensitive parameters have been investigated. A suggested architecture utilizing several processors is presented. Several fault-sensitive parameters for the detection of arcing faults are presented. A detection methodology based on these parameters is described, and a partial solution to the problem of directionality is discussed. The use of a knowledge-based environment to modify protection criteria is suggested
