We installed a generator to run in cogeneration and standby mode with our utility company (Eskom - South Africa). We experienced a flash between neutral and ground due to creapage. I need to work out the voltage drop caused when the flash accured. I know that the reading taken before the flash was 150A for 0.7s. It is a three phase system. Can anyone help me with this calculation?

No. There is not enough information given. The voltage drop will vary at different locations in the overall system.

what sort of information would one need.

I have the amount of amps per phase, the reactive, real and apparent power and the PF.

Will this help?
