Figure 22 shows a typical example of the frequency components that can ow
across a fault impedance of 1 kΩ in the area of fault location 3 (see gure 21).
The clock frequency accounts for a smaller percentage of the total residual
current as the motor frequency increases, while the motor frequency accounts
for a correspondingly higher percentage.
This behavior is characteristic of many different frequency converter versions.
