Why does the phase voltage of two healthy phases become
equal to the line voltage in case of an ungrounded neutral
3 phase star connected sytem when a single line to ground
fault occurs ?
Answer Posted / 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.

L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is located at a place from where transmission line enters the transmitting substation. So L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is the first equipments which has to encounter with lightening, high voltage surges and switching surges. It has to absorb energy of lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges. L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is made up of layers of semiconductors. If these layers can not tolerate energy released by lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges the L.A. (Lightening Arrester) blasts.
