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...- DavBav1

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...- DavBav1

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).- DavBav1

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...- DavBav1

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...- DavBav1
