Improved transient earth fault clearing on solid and resistance earthed MV netwworks

The aim of this thesis is to endeavour to develop, through a literature study, a method or methods whereby transient earth faults on neutral earthed MV networks may be cleared without customer supply interruptions, without compromising public safety and without compromising network integrity. In order to propose such a method, or methods, it is important to understand the various earthing practices employed in MV networks in terms of network behaviour under earth fault conditions, as this may influence network component insulation rating requirements, as well as the way in which such a system may function.
