Figure 250: Voltage distribution before and during a single phase-to-ground fault
During a cross-country fault, the fault current path for the fault that is not on the
protected feeder will not go through the relay. (For a more meshed network though,
there will be some current.) See Figure
251. Only in the one phase with the fault on the
protected feeder, a significant fault current may be measured by the relay
. The result is
