What is neutral to ground fault?
Neutral, by definition, is grounded at the distribution panel, and also at the distribution pole. That is how the hot to ground voltages are prevented from exceeding their normal voltage and encroaching on truly lethal voltages, such as 7.6kV in a typical US 13.2kV system, in a wye configuration.Note: and this is critical, do not depend on the fact that neutral is grounded and consider that it is the same as protective earth ground. It is not. Protective earth ground is a different wire.
Why and how is reactance grounding done?
Reactance grounding is done to lower ground fault current amounts, often to protect generators. It's done by tying the neutral of a generator to a grounding reactor (the other side of the reactor is tied to ground).
What is grounding - grounded - neutral?
A) If low resistance configuration is chosen, then, ground fault current is greater than 25% of 3-phase value. B) If high resistance configuration is chosen, then, ground fault current is between 1 to 5% of 3-phase value. C) Ground fault protection scheme is important because affects resistor thermal rating, hence size. D) For B) above, ground fault current must not be less than system charging current produced by phase to ground capacitance in 11 kV system. E) For D) above, total capacitance calculation must include line to ground capacitance of cables, motors, transformers, and (often forgotten) surge protection capacitors, as well as lightning arrestors. shirish prajapati
How does the earth wire protect you from a short circuit?
An earth wire only " works " under fault conditions in an electrical circuit . The earth or circuit protective conductor protects any conductive part of the system which under normal conditions should not be live , for example the metal casing of a washing machine . The earth , during a short circuit , will complete the circuit and the system will fuse/trip/disconnect if protected suitably .
Why line to ground fault is more common in transmission lines?
Because it is easier to get something to conduct to one phase as opposed to two or more. Lightning usually strikes closest to one phase, and may ionize the air enough to cause one phase to flash over to ground. Farmers sometimes run equipment into power lines; they usually stop when they hit the first wire (may blow the tires right off the vehicle they're driving, cook the engine, etc.). Birds, and small animals usually can't bridge the distance sufficiently between two conductors to cause a flash over, but they sometimes can for a single phase to ground by moving along one string of insulators. The exception to this is large birds of prey - sometimes they like to perch on top of power lines, and they have been known to dive between phases to catch an animal - if this happens, and they're big enough, they won't make it. Also, faults are very often cleared quickly, before more phases can get involved. I looked over some fault records for a line that was taken down when a small town decided to dynamite the ice in the river to prevent flooding- the ice dam came down river and broke the legs of an H frame. The fault record for one end indicated a single phase to ground fault. The fault record for the other end (cleared slower) indicated 1, then 2, then 3 phases as the line collapsed.
Is line to line fault is larger than line to ground or double line to ground fault?
It depends on the source impedance. This is very often not true.

What name means protector?
The name Ethan means "strong, firm, and long-lived" and is often associated with the meaning of protector.
Why is the red protecting light always on on your surge protector?
If it is a surge protector, then it often has two lights. This optional second light reports a defective safety ground. Always required first light reports protector circuits have disconnected to avert a house fire. Some glow when OK. Others glow when a failure has occurred. Consult the manufacturer's instructions. A power strip typically has only one light to indicate power. Both protector and non-protector strips, if minimally safe, feature a circuit breaker that disconnects all lights and receptacles.

What is meant by neutral grounding reactor?
Neutral-earthing reactors or Neutral grounding reactors are connected between the neutral of a power system and earth to limit the line-to-earth current to a desired value under system earth fault conditions.
Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
What is a good sentence with the word fault in it?
He would oft apologize for things that were no fault of his own. The fault line often produced violent earthquakes.
What is a fault scarp?
A geological landform, a scarp is a vertical relocation of the ground along either side of a fault, usually after an earthquake, one side being left higher than the other. It often marks the surface extension of an existing fault below. Scarps can be small or large, in some cases creating steep cliffs which may later erode.
How should one care for a cream carpet?
You should care for a cream carpet by using a professional carpet protector. You may also want to use place mats and rugs for areas such as the front and back door and vacuum often.
How did Anubis behave?
Anubis is most often portrayed in ancient Egpyt as a protector, remote but royal.
Different between fault-line scarp and fault scarp?
"A fault line and fault are the same cause the fault line has the same traces for a fault :}} have fun" That is incorrect. A fault is displaced ground, where the footwall (or hanging wall in the case of reverse faults) has been upthrust and an area of strata is exposed that was previously below the surface. A fault-line scarp is an erosional feature, often resultant from reverse faults, because their scarps are gravitationally unstable and are almost always associated with inactive and old faults. Differential erosion can work away at less resistant beds while leaving behind a scarp of more resistant beds.
