Abstract :
The treatment of the neutral of a medium voltage power system has a major influence on the system behaviour. Earth faults in isolated and compensated power systems are simulated. The results contribute to various developments for improved power system protection. Conditions in radially operated rural 20 kV overhead distribution networks are considered
