Is line to line fault a 3 phase fault?

'Line conductors' are the three 'hot' conductors (A-B-C) that connect a three-phase supply to a three-phase load. In some cases, a pair of line conductors (e.g. A-B, B-C, or C-A) is used to supply a single-phase load. A 'line fault' can be a short-circuit fault between all three, or any two, of these line conductors -whether they supply a three-phase load or a single-phase load.
