Questions and Answers

What is the consequence of having the zero sequence impedance as ∞ during line to line faults?

  • The fault current will be minimum
  • The fault current will be infinite
  • The fault current will be zero (correct)
  • The fault current will be maximum

If the neutral is not grounded during a single line to ground fault, what will be the effect on the zero sequence impedance?
