Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Effect of the Harmonics, the Fault Location and the Fault Resistance on the Performance of the Impedance-Type Distance RelayA. S. Khraiwish, M. Alshamasin, R. Kassasbeh et al.One of today's trends is continuously increasing the number and the power ratings of the non-linear loads connected to the electric power systems. These non-linear loads, such as power-electronic converters, are the main source of the harmonics that affect the performance of the impedance-type distance relays. It was found that, in the presence of harmonics, undesired operation of such type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,567 accessesView PDFCite
