Fault Type determination is required for calculation of Fault Location – the algorithm uses the angle between the negative
and positive sequence components of the relay currents. To improve accuracy and speed of operation, the fault compo-
nents of the currents are used, i.e., the pre-fault phasors are subtracted from the measured current phasors. In addition to
6
the angle relationships, certain extra checks are performed on magnitudes of the negative and zero sequence currents.
The single-ended fault location method assumes that the fault components of the currents supplied from the local (A) and
remote (B) systems are in phase. The figure below shows an equivalent system for fault location.
The following equations hold true for this equivalent system.

where: m = sought pu distance to fault, Z = positive sequence impedance of the line.
The currents from the local and remote systems can be parted between their fault (F) and pre-fault load (pre) components:
