This question is to help my understand of an insulated neutral system and what happens during an earth fault.
I understand that the system is earthed through capacitance, and that voltage will charge and discharge through the fault. This will cause voltage stress in the functioning phases due to constantly changing voltages.
I was looking at this website - An Overview Of Grounding System (Ungrounded) | EEP
The equation they derive is : If = IC2 + IC3 = IC = j3CwV1
It is stated that due to this equation the healthy phases undergo severe voltage stress.
I think i am correct in thinking that voltage cant rise above the line to line voltage of a system. So i was wondering why the equation would cause voltage stress?
Would it cause stress due to an increase of power due to the current increase?
Any help is appreciated as my knowledge is limited.
