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
Series 
Type  Faults
(i) 
Open 
conductor 
(one 
or two conductors open) 
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.
