Fault Current Analysis on 20 Kv Feeder At PLN ULP Sipirok to Determine Fault Location in Order to Accelerate Recovery Time
Keywords:
Fault Current, 20 KV Feeder, Fault Location, Recovery Time, and Electricity DistributionAbstract
Disturbances in the electricity distribution system, especially on the 20 kV feeder, can cause significant power outages and impact the continuity of service to customers. This study aims to analyze the fault currents that occur on the 20 kV feeder in the PLN ULP Sipirok working area to determine the fault location more accurately and quickly. The methods used include collecting fault data from protection relays and recording fault currents, as well as calculating the fault location using a current and impedance comparison approach. The analysis results show that identifying the fault location with this approach can increase the speed of fault handling and reduce system recovery time. Thus, a more integrated and effective fault current protection and monitoring system is needed to improve the reliability of the electricity distribution network in the area.
