Summary
| Description |
English: Split-phase (single-phase three-wire) system, under a line-to-case fault at a load, with neutral-to-case bonding at the service disconnect and equipment bonding. There’s no system (neutral) grounding nor equipment grounding anywhere in the system, since there’s no connection to the earth ground.
Because the neutral is bonded to the case, the fault current can flow back to the source. And because the path it takes consists only of wires, this path has low impedance, which causes a high current, and so the OCPD (circuit breaker or fuse) trips and clears the fault. |
