The reference voltage for phase ‘a’ is defined as

A symmetrical three phase fault occurs at centre of the line. i.e. point 'F’ at time . The positive sequence impedance from source  to point 'F' equals 0.004+ j0.04pu. The waveform correspond phase 'a' fault current from bus X reveals that decaying dc offset current is negative and in magnitude at its maximum initial value. Assume that the negative sequence impedances are equal to positive sequence impedances, and the zero sequence impedances are three times positive sequence impedances.

Instead of the three phase fault, if a single line to ground fault occurs on phase 'a' at Point 'F' with zero fault impedance, then the RMS value of the ac component of fault current for phase 'a’ will be
