Intermittent fault location in distribution feeders (2012)
Journal Article
Alamuti, M. M., Nouri, H., Ciric, R. M., & Terzija, V. (2012). Intermittent fault location in distribution feeders. IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 27(1), 96-103. https://doi.org/10.1109/TPWRD.2011.2172695

Due to the utilization of fundamental frequency, current impedance-based fault-location methods are able to locate only permanent and linear faults. The duration of the arc in low- and medium-voltage systems can be as short as a quarter of a cycle. T... Read More about Intermittent fault location in distribution feeders.

Comprehensive distribution network fault location using the distributed parameter model (2011)
Journal Article

A typical low-or medium-voltage distribution feeder consists of numerous branches as well as laterals and heterogenic conductor lines. The lack of measurement points and the presence of unbalanced loads make it more complicated for the construction o...

Effects of earthing systems on stray current for corrosion and safety behaviour in practical metro systems (2011)
Journal Article
Alamuti, M. M., Nouri, H., & Jamali, S. (2011). Effects of earthing systems on stray current for corrosion and safety behaviour in practical metro systems. IET Electrical Systems in Transportation, 1(2), 69-79. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-est.2010.0029

Running rails are used as the return path for the train current in most DC electrified rail transit systems. The resultant rail voltage causes stray current to return to the DC supply source via other paths, such as nearby metallic infrastructure. St...
