Abstract
A fault detection system has line current monitors. Each line current monitor couples to a line-phase of an electric power transmission system. Each line current monitor has a phase detector, a loop filter and a controlled oscillator, coupled as a phase locked loop. The phase detector has a rotating frame transform. The phase detector couples to a line-phase and provides in-phase and quadrature signals in a rotating frame, based on in-phase and quadrature signals proportional to current in the line-phase. One or more fault detection modules are coupled to the line current monitors through inter-phase communication of the in-phase and quadrature signals in a time frame rotating at the line frequency. The communication may have electrical isolation.
