Abstract
A system and method for detecting high impedance faults (HIFs) in an electrical distribution system may include obtaining a first current signal of a first electrical conductor, determining, based on a time period, a first moving window for the first current signal and a second moving window for a second current signal, determining a first instantaneous phase of the first moving window and a second instantaneous phase of the second moving window, determining a first frequency spectrum and a second frequency spectrum based on the first instantaneous phase and second instantaneous phase respectively, determining an error spectrum corresponding to a difference between points of the first frequency spectrum and the second frequency spectrum respectively, generating an error index based on the error spectrum, and identifying a trigger event at the first electrical conductor based on a comparison between the error index and a reference threshold.
