One of the most important ways in fault location isusing traveling waves. In this paper almost all types of faultlocation methods using wavelet is mentioned and here tried tocompare these methods. In this analysis Aspects of each methodhave been considered and compared with other methods. In thissurvey fault locations divided to two basic types, fault location intransmission lines with wavelet and fault location in distributionsystem using wavelet.
