the fault. When cross-country faults occur, the practice is to trip only one of the faulty
lines. In other cases, a sensitive, directional ground-fault protection is provided to trip, but
due to the low fault currents long tripping times are utilized.
Figure
71 shows an occurring cross-country fault. Figure 72 shows the achievement of
line voltage on healthy phases and an occurring cross-country fault.
