This study aims to improve the performance of transmission line directional relaying, fault classification and fault location schemes using fuzzy system. Three separate fuzzy inference system are designed for complete protection scheme for transmission line. The proposed technique is able to accurately detect the fault (both forward and reverse), locate and also identify the faulty phase(s) involved in all ten types of shunt faults that may occur in a transmission line under different fault inception angle, fault resistances and fault location. The proposed method needs current and voltage measurements available at the relay location and can perform the fault detection and classification in about a half-cycle time. The proposed fuzzy logic based relay has less computation complexity and is better than other AI based methods such as artificial neural network, support vector machine, and decision tree (DT) etc. which require training. The percentage error in fault location is within 1 km for most of the cases. Fault location scheme has been validated using χ² test with 5% level of significance. Proposed scheme is a setting free method and is suitable for wide range of parameters, fault detection time is less than half cycle and relay does not show any reaching mal-operation so it is reliable, accurate and secure.
