Hi all,
I was reading IEEE 80-2013 (Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding) and came across Figure 30 which shows current division during a substation fault.
Please see the below snapshot.
I am having difficulty in following KCL to arrive at the numbers shown in the diagram. I can see and understand that the returning current at the remote source is simply 1048A + 444A, but I don't follow how IG=742A at the faulted structure is determined. I feel really dumb as I thought that I understood the fundamentals of how fault current returns both via the neutral / shield wire and via ground, but I am not connecting the dots here. Would appreciate any insight that you folks could offer. Thank you.
