This paper introduces a traveling wave-based relaying approach dedicated to sophisticated protection of six-phase transmission lines. In this ultra-high-speed (UHS) approach fault detection, classification, and faulted phase selection can be achieved within a quarter of a cycle. Two discriminants are used to differentiate between transients due to faults in the protected zone from other transients or faults occurring outside the protected zone. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
