How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?

You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.


Why does the moon phases change a certain day?

The moon changes phases as it orbits the Earth. The phase is due to the varying shadow that the Earth casts on the surface of the moon. When the Earth completely blocks the Sun, it is a new moon.


What is the most frequently observed phase in mitosis?

M [mitosis]-phase follows both Growth-phase 1 and [dna synthesis] S-phase; the transition between S-phase and M-phase involves the condensation of chromatin into chromosomes, and what is frequently observed is the movement, translocation, separation [division] and migration of the two sets of chromosomes to the two Cellular/nuclear 'poles'. This is very quickly followed by Cellular binary fission.
