Applying a fault to a bus causes it to act as an impedance was connected between it and a ground reference. The value of this impedance can be set using the ‘G_fault’ and ‘B_fault’ pins. Apply the fault by setting a non-zero value on the ‘active3PGFault’ pin.
For line, the default value of the fault impedance is same as the bus fault; however, it cannot be changed. Apply the line fault by setting a non-zero value to 'faulty' pin. The fault location in a line can also be provided using 'fault_distance_factor' pin. By default this value is 0.5 which means a fault would happen right at the middle of the line.
Available I/O Pins
No | Pin Description | Pin Type | Value/Unit | Instruction |
1 | Set/Get three-phase-to-ground fault status | I/O | 1: Active 0: Inactive | busID/active3PGFault |
2 | Set/Get fault conductance | I/O | p.u. default = 1e5 p.u. | busID/G_fault |
3 | Set/Get fault susceptance | I/O | p.u. default = 0 p.u. | busID/B_fault |
4 | Set/Get three-phase-to-ground fault | I/O | 1: Active 0: Inactive | lineID/faulty |
5 | Set/Get distance for line fault from starting bus | I/O | 0 < value < 1 default = 0.5 | lineID/fault_distance_factor |
