In power system distribution, the transmission line is the bottleneck between power generation and consumers. Therefore, any fault or failure in the transmission line is critical and must be detected in a very short time. Meanwhile, as Discrete Wavelet Transform has special characteristics, it can be implemented to analyze and detect short circuit faults for the three-phase power system transmission line and identify the types based on phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground faults analysis. In this work, MATLAB Simulink was used to generate faults using a power distribution system simulator. The three-phase currents were analyzed using the Discrete Wavelet transform algorithm by decomposing the three-phase and ground currents and obtaining the detailed coefficients. As a result, the maximum value of the detailed coefficients is used to distinguish between different types of faults. Simulation results of the proposed method have shown promising results in detecting short circuit faults and identifying types of faults effectively.
