Abstract

The present invention provides a method for current for fault identification in a transmission line and an apparatus thereof. The method comprises the following steps: measuring the real-time values of the currents and the voltages of the other unbroken healthy phase conductors when a single-phase fault occurs; calculating the inductive voltage and the capacitive coupling voltage according to the measured currents and voltages respectively; comparing the capacitive coupling voltage with the inductive voltage multiplied by a factor, in which the multiplication result is used as a self-adjusted threshold based on the real time load condition of the transmission line; and identifying the fault type based on the maximum of the capacitive coupling voltage and the multiplication.
