A secondaryzero-detection, based on current zero crossings, used the same innovations to provide timingsignals after fault initiation, when primary zero detection was lost. Gate drivers were purchasedfrom Enerpro, a decision that saved much design time and gave superbly reliable and accurategating of the thyristors that carried the fault current. Details of this are presented in [1].A software interface was written that allowed the user to enter in the fault data desired and thecommand to start the fault(s). This was
