R is the resistance of the neutral point resistor

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
calculated as:

Where
X is the reactance of the Petersen coil. If the Petersen coil is well tuned we have 3X

this case the impedance Z
Now consider a system with an earthing via a resistor giving higher earth fault
current than the high impedance earthing. The series impedances in the system can
no longer be neglected. The system with a single phase to earth fault can be
described as in Figure 61.
