    Thank you for your answers. I have the following comments on your contributions: @che12345 Regarding your hypothesis: the Ith concept is to determine the offset into a steady r.m.s. equivalent. Now according to IEC 60909 the Ith through this equation ith=Ik "sqrt(m+n) shows that the influence...
