Abstract :
The occurrence of multiple ground fault events in a low resistance grounded 13.8 kV power system may have an unexpected cause. This situation serves to illustrate that short circuit and load flow analyses alone are becoming increasingly inadequate as the sole means used to insure proper system operation and to minimize disruptions in three phase power systems employing capacitor banks
