2.4 TW FAULT LOCATOR
2.4.1 DESCRIPTION
The TW Fault Locator is a tool that uses the records of the traveling wave front signals at two ends of a
transmission line to locate a fault in this line.
To record traveling waves in RPV it is necessary to install the appropriate acquisition module, RA333. The
records of traveling waves at both ends of the line should be transferred of RPV's to the specific area of
records in the user's computer that will run the Fault Locator software.
By using a graphic interface, based on the distance between terminals A and B and on the time stamp of the
wave front, and by running the algorithm, the fault can be located. If unable to locate the fault automatically
by the software, it is necessary to use a graphical tool to identify the times of the wave front of each terminal
manually. Of the time identified it is possible run the fault locator graphically. If the locations of the towers
between the ends of the line are defined, the results are georeferenced and a KML file is created for viewing
through Google Earth.
