ABSTRACT In this paper, a strategy based on an iterative algorithm used to determine the minimum fault reactance, applied to reduce the Fibonacci uncertainty intervals is proposed. This strategy increases the accuracy of the proposed fault location using a variable step to calculate the minimum fault reactance. The algorithm uses measurements of voltages and currents at the power substation also considering variations between pre-fault and fault steady states. The strategy is validated at the IEEE 34 test feeder, considering single-phase, two-phase and three-phase faults and also fault resistances from 0 to 40 ohms. According to the obtained results, the estimation error is lower than 1.8%, which validates the good performance of the proposed approach.
