ABSTRACT
The current chapter deals with fault analysis, introduction to the faults in power systems, transient phenomena, and three-phase short-circuit, unloaded synchronous machine. Short-circuit theory consists of balanced and unbalanced fault calculations in general and conventional methods for small systems. These fault types involve (single line-to-ground faults, line-to-line faults, and double line-to-ground faults). The last three unsymmetrical fault studies will require the knowledge and use of tools of symmetrical components. This chapter also consists of fault analysis by the SCADA system.
