Abstract: Power system is mostly affected by the faults which are occurred in the transmission line and cable. Nowaday, it is very necessary to locate and detect the faults quickly in order to get better performances. Travelling wave fault location technique has more no of merits to avoid the complexity and minimizes the cost. In this strategy the faulted distances are calculated by the help of arrival time and propagation velocity. Single ended measurements have certain merits over multi ended measurements. In this study, a new technique is applied which uses the wavelet transform and travelling waves to locate the fault distance in transmission lines. Simulation models have been done to conform the effects of the used methods which depend on the wavelets. Results show that the used method is able to locate the faults more accurately.
