INTRODUCTION
Chapter 9
was devoted
to the treatment of
symmetrical
(three-phase)
faults in
a
power
system. Since
the system remains balanced
during
such faults,
analysis
could conveniently
proceed
on a single-phase basis. In this chapter, we shall
deal with unsymmetrical
faults. Various
types
of
unsymmetrical faults that
occur
in
power
systems
are:
Shunt
Wpe
Faults
(i)
Single line-to-ground
(LG)
fault
(ii)
Line-to-line
(LL)
fault
(iii)
Double
line-to-ground
(LLG)

fault.
It was stated in Chapter
9,
that
a
three-phase
(3L)
fault being
the most severe
must
be used to calculate
the rupturing
capacity of circuit
breakers, even though
this type of fault
has a
low frequency of occurrence, when compared to the
unsymmetrical
faults listed
above. There are, however, situations when an
LG
fault can cause
greater
fault
current than a three-phase fault
(this
may be so
when the fault location
is close
to large
generating
units).
Apart fiom tliS,
unsymmetrical
fault
analysis
is
important for relay setting, single-phase
switching
and system
stability
studies
(Chapter
12).
The
probability
of
two or more
simultaneous faults
(cross-country
faults) on
a
power
system is
remote
and is therefore ignored in
system design
for
abnormal conditions.
