Introduction:
Technical definition:
The fault on the power system which gives rise to the
symmetrical fault currents i.e. equal fault currents in the line
with 1200 phase displacement is called a symmetrical fault.
Due to balance nature of fault, for the analysis of the fault only one
phase is to be considered as faults in other two cases will be
identical.
The following points should be particularly noted:
This type of fault occurs rarely in practice.
This type of fault is the most severe type of all faults and it
imposes more heavy duty on the circuit breakers.

Different mechanisms are used for elongating the arc such that it can
be cooled and extinguished. Therefore the circuit breaker has to
withstand fault current from the instant of initiation of the fault to
the time the arc is extinguished.
