is the resistance of the neutral point resistor
In many systems there is also a neutral point reactor (Petersen coil) connected to one or
more transformer neutral points. In such a system the impedance Z

can be calculated as:

Now consider a system with an grounding via a resistor giving higher ground-fault
current than the high impedance grounding. The series impedances in the system can
no longer be neglected. The system with a single phase to ground-fault can be
described as in figure 200.
