Short circuits occur in power system due to equipment failure, lightning strikes, falling of branches or trees on the transmission lines, switching surges, insulation failures and other electrical or mechanical causes. Symmetrical faults are those conditions in which all three phases of a power system are grounded at the same point. If adequate protection is not taken, may result in damages in the power apparatus.
