  • Abstract
    This paper has shown the benefits of viewing and determining neutrals shift by graphically showing it in the voltage triangle along with the phasor diagram. We have demonstrated how neutral shifts are observed on solid grounded, ungrounded and semi-ungrounded systems. Finally, it was determined that neutral shifts can have a direct impact on the fault phase voltage and therefore affecting protective relay performance.
