How would you justify the above question? Please elaborate in detail with diagrams (if applicable). It will be really helpful. Thank you.
How grounding resistor and reactor have no effect in 3 phase fault?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the impact of grounding resistors and reactors in three-phase fault scenarios. It is established that in a wye connection with a grounded center point, the fault current flows directly to ground, effectively bypassing the grounding resistor and reactor. This results in minimal influence from these components during a three-phase fault, as the fault current primarily depends on the system's impedance and the fault location. Diagrams illustrating the current flow and grounding configurations were suggested for clarity.
