Abstract

This paper proposes the combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and fuzzy logic to classify the fault type in underground distribution cable. The DWT is employed to decompose high frequency component from fault signal with the mother wavelet daubechies4 (db4). The maximum coefficients detail of DWT from phase A, B, C and zero sequence for post-fault current waveforms are considered as an input pattern of decision algorithm. Triangle-shaped S-shaped and Z-shaped membership function with maximum, medium, minimum, and zero are used to create a function for the input variable. Output variable of fuzzy are designated as values range 1 to 10 which corresponding with type of fault. The obtained average accuracy results shown that the proposed decision algorithm is able to classify the fault type with satisfactory accuracy.
