This document has been created after the report published at CIRED in 2005, 2009 and 2011 in Ungrounded Medium Voltage Systems -ref. 0028, 0875 and 0182), ref.[1]. Established in the cantons of Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Vaud, the Swiss company Groupe E currently operates its medium voltage networks in ungrounded mode. To eliminate insulation faults, in the case of single lineto-earth fault, we use shunt circuit-breaker systems with unipolar closure connected to the MV busbars of our substations.
