When the 3-phase system is not grounded and if Single Line to Ground fault occurs, the voltage of the other two healthy phases will____________?

Correct answer: A. Increases

  • A. Increases
  • B. Decreases
  • C. Remains unaffected

Explanation

In an ungrounded system, a single line-to-ground fault shifts the neutral potential. The two healthy phase-to-ground voltages rise to approximately the line voltage, or √3 times their normal value.
