2. Line-‐to-‐Line Faults
To represent a line-‐to-‐line fault through impedance Zf the
hypothetical stubs on the three lines at the fault are connected as
shown. Bus k is again the fault point P, and without any loss of
generality, the line-‐to-‐line fault is regarded as being on phases b
and c. Clearly:

8. Line-‐to-‐Line Faults
Thus, all the fault conditions are satisfied by connecting the
positive-‐ and negative-‐sequence networks in parallel through
impedance Zf as was shown.
The zero-‐sequence network is inactive and does not enter into the
line-‐to-‐line calculations. The equation for the positive-‐sequence
current in the fault can be determined directly from the circuit as:

impedance in series with the paralel combination of the negative - sequence
and zero - sequence networks as shown in the equivalent circuit of figure 10.15.
The value of I1
found from (10.86) is substituted in (10.86) and (10.87),a

14. Double Line-‐to-‐Ground Faults
For a bolted fault Zf is set equal to 0. When Zf = ∞, the zero-‐
sequence circuit becomes an open circuit, no zero-‐sequence current
an flow, and the equations revert back to those for the line-‐to-‐line
fault.
Again we observe that the sequence currents, once calculated, can
be treated as negative injections into the sequence networks at
the fault bus k and the sequence voltage changes at all buses of the
system can then be calculated from the bus impedance matrices, as
we have done in all along.
