why and how fault current flows through ground?



why and how fault current flows through ground?..

Answer / nilkanth tailor

In our home, thier is earthing to protect equipment like
(fridge,tv,computer.etc...).and this earthing wire is going
to ground...in three pin holder one is phase wire another
is neutral wire..and third one is earth..and this earth pin
area is greater then other two pin...coz R is inversley
proportional to the area..if A(area)is greater then R will
be small...and current always passes from lower resistance
path...suppose thier is any Short circuit occured in
fridge..then may be possible that line is directly
connected to that fridge body..and at that time if thier is
no any earthing..we will get shock..but if thier is
earthign provided, then current flows through earth..coz
human resistance is more than earth wire which is used..so
and current pass through earth wire to ground

We have two Al.busbars each of size 125mm*10 mm connected in parallel.To increase the current rating ,can we connect third busbar of size 100mm*10mm in parallel to existing two busbars?In my opinion ,if we connect busbars of different sizes in parallel,then the busbar of lowest size will take much current.So this type of paralleling should be avoided .Am I correct?

On monitor it is written that current rating is 2.2 Amps. Is it a monitor current drawing capacity or CPU & monitor. If it is only monitor rating, what will be the rating of only CPU and what will be the power consumption rating of PC, Monitor & Scanner? In net, I learnt that computer consumes only 200-300W while running. With the current rating of 2.2 Amps, how it could be 200-300Watts. Please explain?

Hi If connecting a temp generator 670KVA .415kv with step up Tx .415/11kv. I am given Generator impedances Z1 Z2 Z0 to 100MVA base. Do I need to work out the generator fault current by using these impedances i.e gen rating / impedance. Then use this as my source impedance for the calculations that follow.
