is the resistance of the neutral point resistor
In many systems there is also a neutral point reactor (Petersen coil) connected to one
or more transformer neutral points. In such a system the impedance Z

Now consider a system with an earthing via a resistor giving higher earth fault current
than the high impedance earthing. The series impedances in the system can no longer
be neglected. The system with a single phase to earth fault can be described as in
