In the present scenario, the efficiency of a power system depends on how a fault is accurately detected and classified, so that quick restoration and maintenance of power is accomplished. Fault detection, fault classification, needs to be performed using a fast and responsive algorithm at different levels of a power system. Effect of factors such as fault impedance, fault inception angle (FIA), and fault distance, which cause disturbances in power line can be analyzed by Wavelet based multi resolution analysis (MRA). This paper proposed, a fault detection and classification technique using MRA based on wavelet transform. The present paper also deals with the exploration of advantages and problems related with the proposed fault detection and classification technique. The method of fault detection and classification proposed in this work is based on the three-phase current and voltage waveforms measured during the occurrence of fault in the power transmission-line. The technique proposed in this paper, is verified using MATLAB/Simulink software and the obtained results shows that the wavelet based MRA is a good tool for detection and classification of faults. However it is also shown that the most critical problem related to this technique is the selection of appropriate threshold values for all the three phases. It has been also shown that this technique requires expert hands and knowledge of the system for the selection of proper threshold value.
