In many systems there is also a neutral point reactor (Petersen coil) connected to one or
more transformer neutral points. In such a system the impedance Z

Now consider a system with an grounding via a resistor giving higher ground fault
current than the high impedance grounding. The series impedances in the system can
no longer be neglected. The system with a single phase to ground fault can be
described as in Figure 190.
