The resistance of the secondary wire and additional load (W). In solidly
grounded
systems the loop resistance containing the phase and neutral wires
should be used for phase-to-ground faults and the resistance of the phase wire
should be used for three-phase faults.
In isolated or high impedance grounded systems the resistance of the single
secondary wire can always be used.
