Comprehensive study on tree-contact single-phase-to-ground faults:Modelling,risk analysis,and detection recommendations
摘要 Tree-contact single-phase-to-ground faults(TSFs)present a significant fire hazard in electrical distribution systems,and research on the development,modelling,and moni-toring is insufficient.This article investigates the electro-thermal coupling mechanisms during the current rise of TSFs,constructing a simplified power-frequency model that leverages actual physical parameters like tree size for prolonged simulations of the first TSF stage zero-sequence current.Validated through full-scale testing,the model enables digital simulations across various tree sizes,concluding that the detection sensitivity for grounding faults should not exceed 0.5 A to mitigate fire risks effectively.This approach surpasses the limitations of traditional high-impedance fault models reliant on empirical parameters and the shortcomings of generalised conclusions from experimental in-ductions,offering a new paradigm for TSF research that enhances the predictive accuracy and applicability of fault analysis in electrical distribution networks.
