The ability to accurately detect power system faults is of vital importance for the purpose of isolating malfunctioning equipment and resuming normal operation as soon as possible after a fault occurs. People have used a variety of electric parameters as metrics to identify faults for a long time. The method proposed by this paper departs from the traditional approach by introducing Fisher information (FI) as a measure of the stability of electric signals and as a criterion for making fault decisions. In this way, a non-dimensional positive parameter is used as a single criterion to deliver fault detection for power distribution networks. Firstly, we simplified the formula of FI and then adopted a practical method for calculating values of FI. We demonstrated the application of FI to measure the stability of electric signals. Finally, we combined FI with wavelet analysis to propose a novel technique for phase selection of a power distribution network with a grounding short-circuit fault, namely the wavelet-based Fisher information (WFI). Simulation studies were then carried out to show the feasibility of the proposed method.
