Some faults in overhead distribution feeders are characterized by low fault current due to high ground resistance. If the fault
current is in the order of expected unbalance load or less, it cannot be reliably detected by overcurrent protection. These
faults are classified as high-impedance (Hi-Z) faults. Since a Hi-Z fault is not accompanied by excessive current, it is gener-
ally not dangerous to the electrical installation except for some damage to the overhead conductor at the fault location.
However, an undetected Hi-Z fault is a risk to people and property as well as having a potential to evolve into a full-blown
fault.
The following event types are associated with Hi-Z faults. It is assumed that for all cases that ground is involved.
•
High impedance fault: a fault with fault impedance sufficiently high such that it is not detected by overcurrent protection
•
High impedance, downed conductor fault: a high impedance fault for which the primary conductor is no longer intact on
pole top insulators, but instead is in contact with earth or a grounded object
•
Arcing fault: any high impedance fault which exhibits arcing
