This paper proposes fault detection and classification scheme for transmission line protection using WT and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Current signals of each phase are used for the detection and identification of faulty phases and zero sequence currents are used for the detection of ground. Current signals are processed using discrete wavelet transform with DB-4 wavelet up to level 3. Approximate coefficients are reconstructed using wavelet reconstruction. Performance of the proposed based scheme is tested by variations of parameters such as fault type, location, fault resistance, fault inception angle and power flow angle. The scheme is applicable for both single circuit and double circuit transmission line. All shunt faults and multi-location faults which occur in different locations at the same time are also detected and classified by the proposed scheme within one cycle time. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is not affected by non-linear high impedance fault and CT saturation.
