With reference to the typical power system network used in the tutorial
“System Analysis - Balanced Faults", consider a single phase to earth
fault on busbar “C". Consider all generating plant and transformers in
service except T3 and T4 and assume all breakers at mesh station "E"
be open.

Impedance values for the equivalent "star" network for the transformer
can now be determined
Ze = 0.5(2p-s + Ze-r - 25-7)
= 0,5(0.1 + 0.2 - 0.05) = 0.125 pw
Zs = 0.5(Ze-s + Zs-r - Ze-1)
= 0,5(0.1 + 0.05 - 0.2) = peu
tr = 0,5(2e-r + Zs-1 - Ze-s
= 0,5(0.2 + 0.05 - 0.1) = 0.
