the voltage of the faulty phase decreases and the corresponding capacitance is
discharged to earth (→ discharge transients). At the same time, the voltages of
the healthy phases increase and the related capacitances are charged (→ charge
transient).
If the fault is permanent (non-transient) in nature, only the initial fault transient
in current and voltage can be measured, whereas the intermittent fault creates
repetitive transients.

transient components, when a permanent fault occurs in a 20 kV network in phase C
