This paper describes an event in which a negative-sequence overcurrent (51Q) element operated for a fault on an adjacent feeder, discusses the impact of voltage unbalance on induction motors, and shares lessons learned to assist engineers to securely set 51Q elements.
Negative-Sequence Overcurrent Considerations for Induction Motor Loads

This paper presents a Fault Locating Method (FLM) which uses the current waveforms from Power Quality (PQ) Monitors located on a distribution feeder to determine the location of a permanent fault on the feeder. The method is model based in that it uses a detailed feeder model to estimate the fault currents and compares it with the data obtained from PQ monitors. Test results on the proposed FLM have been provided for two different distribution feeders.

Various feeder monitoring projects have been undertaken over the last decade for power quality and automation. These studies have indicated that one of the main uses of the monitoring data will be to locate the faults. The studies have also demonstrated that the monitored data contains signatures of many disturbances due mainly to the equipment disoperation or failure. These signatures therefore can be used to identify equipment that is disoperation or about to fail. The goal of this project is to enhance these two functions and demonstrate their performance on an actual test system.

The buck  converter exhibits sub-harmonics and chaos when current feedback is used. This project reviews the details in the paper that investigates the dependence of the system behavior on its parameters. This knowledge is vital for designing practical circuits.
