Abstract

A method of measuring current for fault detection in a distribution grid. The method includes: using three current transformers, wherein three current transformers are connected to one another; installing three connected current transformers in series on three phase conductors by winding; measuring voltages of three series connected current transformers by measuring first voltage over first current transformer, measuring second voltage over first current transformer and second current transformer, measuring third voltage over first current transformer, second current transformer and third current transformer; using measured first voltage, second voltage and third voltage for determining sum current; using measured first voltage, second voltage, third voltage and calculated sum current for calculating phase currents; using determined sum current and phase currents to detect first fault transient in the distribution grid.
