Solution<br />
The fault is simulated by switching on an impedance Z f at bus 3 as shown in the figure<br />

By Thevenin’s theorem, the changes in the network voltage due to the fault impedance<br />
Z f can be represented by a voltage source V th with all other voltage sources short<br />
circuited as shown below:<br />
