Answer / shahzad

in my point of view that the when single line to ground
fault occurs that phase return and then we get phase
voltage of two healty phaase become equal

Answer / nithi

The question what u have asked is technically termed
as "ARCING GROUND".
DUE TO VIRTUAL CAPACITANCE, THE VOLTAGE B/W THE LINE -
GROUND IS ALWAYS PHASE VOLTAGE.BUT IN THE CASE OF LINE-
GROUND FAULT IN UNGROUNDED SYSTEM,THE GROUND & THE
TRANSFORMER BODY ITSELF ACT AS A PHASE (AS THERE IS DIRECT
CONTACT WITH GROUND).
this is cumulative effect,due to capacitance again the
voltage b/w the line to ground keeps on increasing.this
will increase the pressure on the insulation,arcing
occurs,ultimately leads to breakdown of the system.

some practicle study shows that the reactive power at the receiving end is not equal to the reactive power at the sending end.But according to theory the reactive power is exchanged by different parts of the network – capacitors and reactors permanently, but is never consumed or produced. Then Where that reacrtive power loss occuring?is there any formula to calculate reactive power loss?
