Phase Coordinates Method: Short Curcuit Model

In the phase coordinate method for modeling damage in the power line, the corresponding damage model is used with its transmission matrix. The damage model is composed of a set of active resistances.

In fig. 1 shows a fault model for short circuits. The model allows simulating symmetric three-phase K(3) and asymmetric single-phase K(1), interphase K(2) and two-phase K(1,1) earth faults. In this case, the active resistances vary in the range from 0 to ∞.

In the table 1 shows the resistance variations for different types of damage.
