Principle of High-Frequency Wave Trapper in Relay Protection
A line trap, also known as wave trap, or high-frequency stopper, is a maintenance-free, mounted inline on high-voltage (HV) transmission to prevent the transmission of (40 kHz to 1000 kHz) carrier signals of to unwanted destinations. Line traps are cylinder-like structures connected in series with HV transmission lines. Carrier wave communication uses up to 150kHz to 800kHz frequency to send all the communication. This system provides accurate fault location, limited by nonhomogeneous infeed, load flow, fault resist nce, and series-compensated or parallel lines. With the emphasis placed on reliability in today's power system, the need for imp oved accuracy in.
