A a special report for calculations regarding earth fault management in impedance earthed medium voltage networks is available.
This type of calculation is optional and is conducted after selecting Extended earth fault analysis in the Advanced settings tab of the network calculation start form.
A simple text report and can be found as an extra report when right-clicking on a calculation in the Results/Administration form.
Description of calculation method and earth fault report.
Fault locations and printout points are limited to the following places.
Fault locations for earth faults will be calculated for every:
•Secondary side busbar in the primary sub station for 0 Ohm impedance, and for high Ohm (normally 3000 Ohm unless other value has been set)
•End point in radial. The node point located far out in each radial / feeder (lowest earth-fault current) for 0 Ohm, and for high Ohm
•Every node point that has a given reference earth point value.
Printout of earth fault values will be done for:
•The node point that is far out in every radial / feeder (lowest earth-fault current)
•The secondary side busbar in the primary sub-station
•The first section in every outgoing radial/ feeder
•The node point for every neutral point reactor located in the network outside of a primary substation.
•The system neutral point

I0 Trf-Neutral point = Current per phase from transformer busbar through transformer and to neutral point
3*I0 Resist = Current through resistor
