Summary: This paper addresses the difficulties and uncertainties related to earth fault loop impedance measurement, highlighting the errors and shortcomings that accompany the measurement process. Factors such as the position in the power system, the influence of power transformers, and the use of effective quantities instead of phasors can lead to errors in impedance assessment. By simulating power distribution networks and proposing solutions, the accuracy of measurement protocols can be improved.

Summary: This article presents a new ground fault location method for the controlled ac drive side of a dc-ac system. It is based on measuring the voltage of a grounding resistor placed at the midpoint of the dc bus and comparing it with the phase-neutral voltages of the ac drive side. The method detects the faulty phase through angle comparison and provides an estimation of the fault location. Simulation and experimental tests confirm its effectiveness.

Summary: Transformers are crucial components in the power system and require constant monitoring and maintenance due to their size and complexity. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is useful for substations as part of the system's on-demand response. This paper proposes a multi-level condition assessment framework based on evidential reasoning and presents a model for condition-based maintenance of power transformers. The scientific contribution lies in the analysis that provides insight into the system's condition and determines its maintenance priority based on a single numerical value.

Summary: Thermography is a widely used method for measuring surface temperature by analyzing infrared radiation, but the accuracy depends on factors like emissivity and reflected radiation. Thermographic images are not temperature maps; they are converted thermal radiation, and improper calibration can result in incorrect temperatures. This study analyzes image processing techniques and their impact on radiometric data in thermography, including the effects of contrast, brightness, and JPEG compression. The study emphasizes the importance of accurate and precise thermographic analysis for reliable temperature measurement.
