his paper introduces a comparative study for fault detection and classification on parallel transmission line using cascade forward and feed forward back propagation. Both calculations were based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Clarke’s transformation. Daubechies4 mother wavelet (Db4) was applied to decompose coefficients of wavelet transforms coefficients (WTC) and wavelet energy coefficients (WEC) of high frequency signals. The coefficients were inputs for training of neural network back-propagation (BPNN). The results showed that the feed
forward back propagation algorithm of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models responded better than Cascade forward back propagation algorithm models, particularly in fault detection and classification on parallel transmission. The results showed that the proposed method for fault analysis was able to classify all the faults on the parallel transmission line rapidly and correctly.
