For example, in a 15 kV compensated network with the magnitude of the earth-fault
current in the protected feeder being 10 A (Rf = 0 Ω), the theoretical value for the
measured admittance during an earth fault in the reverse direction, that is, outside
the protected feeder, can be calculated.

The result is valid regardless of the neutral earthing method.
