Arcing ground is a surge which is produced if the neutral is not connected to the earth. In
three phase transmission line each phase has capacitance with respect to the earth. When
an earth fault occur on any phasor, a capacitive fault current flow into the earth. Such a
current if exceeds 4 – 5 ampere is sufficient to maintain an Arc in the ionized path of the
fault
