We see that all the sequence components are non-zero and
Ia = Ia0 + Ia1 + Ia2
= j1.153 + j 1.653  j 0.5 = 0
We conclude that it is a L  L  G fault.

8. (B)

For proper fault discrimination the directional over current relays are located in such a way
that for a fault at segment B, the breaker 2 should not trip and similarly for a fault at segment
A, the breaker 3 should not trip.

This is because without disturbing the supply to load the fault may be discriminated by the
system. Also for radial system (segment C) directional relays are not needed since current
flow during fault is in one direction. So in location 2 and 3 directional over current relays are
to be located.
