When a phase is grounded, the voltage across this phase will become zero. The other two phasors will remain the same as in a healthy system and add to give the residual voltage. In healthy condition: V_R=V_A1+V_A2+V_A0 V_Y=a²V_A1+a V_A2+V_A0 V_B=a V_A1+a²V_A2+V_A0 V_A0 =0 (residual voltage) In faulty condition: V’_R=0 V’_Y=V_Y+V_A0 V’_B=V_B+V_A0 V_A0>0
