Abstract:
A computer model of a two-stage system for locating faults by analyzing reflected signals was developed. The simulation results for power transmission lines with varying numbers of branches extending from the main line were discussed. The relationship between fault location efficiency and the network bit error rate was analyzed. The dependence of diagnostic reliability on the number of branches and fault types was examined.
Keywords:two-stage diagnostic system, power transmission line with tree topology, bit error, computer simulation, FSK modulation.
