electricpy.fault.single_phase_to_ground_fault¶

electricpy.fault.single_phase_to_ground_fault(Vth, Zseq, Rf=0, sequence=True, reference='A')[source]¶

Single-Phase-to-Ground Fault Calculator.

This function will evaluate the Zero, Positive, and Negative sequence currents for a single-line-to-ground fault.

\[I_1 = \frac{V_{th}}{Z_0+Z_1+Z_2+3*R_f}\]

\[I_2 = I_1\]

\[I_0 = I_1\]

Parameters:¶

Vth : complex¶

The Thevenin-Equivalent-Voltage

Zseq : list of complex¶

Tupple of sequence reactances as (Z0, Z1, Z2)

Rf : complex, optional¶

The fault resistance, default=0

sequence : bool, optional¶

Control argument to force return into symmetrical- or phase-domain values.

reference : {'A', 'B', 'C'}¶

Single character denoting the reference, default=’A’

Returns:¶

Ifault – The Array of Fault Currents as (If0, If1, If2)

Return type:¶

list of complex,
