    Ground faults in ungrounded systems

    Thanks all. I have one last question, and I'm sure I should have been able to figure this one out by myself, but I'm not... During a single line to ground fault, the voltage across the healthy phases increase to line to line voltage. I.e. the voltage triangle remains intact, but the neutral...

    Ground faults in ungrounded systems

    Hi, Not a homework problem, just a newbie trying to understand :). Fair enough, but consider the following schematic below. If I measure voltages and currents at points located directly after the ground fault. Now my phase to ground voltage measurement will read zero in phase Y. How can I...

    Ground faults in ungrounded systems

    Thanks @Babadag One question that came to mind: If I want to calculate the power of my circuit during ground fault, I can't use phase voltage because this is now zero, do I just use phase-phase voltage and divide by sqrt(3)? And multiply with current (load + ground fault).

    Ground faults in ungrounded systems

    Hi, Ok, so in real life the ungrounded system is grounded via its capacitance to earth. I found this picture on the web (see below), going back to my original image in post #1: Can we say that the currents with the fault will be the same as before, but phase A has the additional capacitative...

    Ground faults in ungrounded systems

    HiThis is most likely a stupid question, but sometimes I have to ask them... Imagine the following circuit shown in the image below; there is a ground fault in phase A and let's say the fault impedance is zero. Because of this fault; the potential, with respect to ground, of phase A is zero...
