Ground fault current: Calculation of magnitude and its distribution in the neutral and ground paths

This thesis focuses on the ground fault current distribution and presents a method that enables a high accuracy in its calculation: starting from the model based on multi-conductor representation developed in Matlab, simulations are carried out to analyse which parameters influence the current distribution. These simulations, applied even on the portion of a real network, are also carried out on the commercial software Neplan and OpenDSS to validate the model.
