This done setting the coil (in the grid's healthy
state) inductive resistance that corresponds approximately the grid's capacitive
resistance XC.
In the past, the only controlled variable that was used regulate coil was the absolute
value the zero sequence voltage UNE. (For more information, please see the chapter Current injection).
Medium voltage grids should compensated much possible that only the residual
current flows across the faulty section when earth fault occurs.
Overcompensation and undercompensation are only recommended for special applications
or overhead transmission grids with higher unbalance. But the load can still affect the
zero sequence voltage and cause flicker.
The main advantage this technique the ability continue operating the network dur-
ing single pole-to-earth fault.1 The basics resonant earthing
In medium and high voltage grids, Petersen coils are used compensate the capacitive
current across the faulty section similarly large counter-flowing inductive current when
a single phase-to-earth fault occurs.1 Definitions

6. This why other techniques have used
to regulate the coil.

doesn’t always achieve the desired result today's grids.2 The basics regulating P-coil
Neutral point treatment with P-coil one the most important ways improving the
voltage quality power grids.2. The increase power lines has
balanced the grids and reduced the zero sequence voltage.Page 19
