Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a fault detection system for detection of line faults on an electrode line in an HVDC system wherein the electrode line comprises a first and second branch connected in parallel. The fault detection system comprises a first and second pulse generation circuit arranged to generate electrical pulses onto the first and second branches, respectively, as well as first and second current measurement devices arranged to generate signals indicative of electrical signals occurring in first and second injection lines, respectively. The possibility of independent generation of electrical pulses onto the first and second branches, respectively, as well as the independent registration of first and second signal patterns representing electrical signals on the first and second injection lines, respectively, increases the information content in the collected data, thereby facilitating for a more reliable analysis of whether or not a fault is present on the electrode line.
