Fig 4.5 illustrates the characteristic of a stabilized (reĆ

gram, the abscissa represents the sum | |ofthe
magnitudes of all quantities flowing through the busĆ
bar while the vectorial sum is plotted as the ordiĆ
nate. Both axes use rated current as the unit and both
have the same scale. If a short-circuit occurs on the
busbars whereby the same phase relation applies to
all infeeding currents, then = | |. The fault charĆ
acteristic is a straight line inclined at 45_.
