  • Abstract
    THE RESULTS of an extensive oscillographic study of power-system faults to ground are presented herewith. While this study was made primarily to obtain data useful in inductive co-ordination problems, the results are believed to be of general interest as well. They provide data on such items as frequency of occurence of ground-current disturbances, their monthly distribution, duration, cause, method of clearance, and wave-trace characteristics. Data on fault resistance are given in part II, a companion paper.
