In North America, Most power distribution systems
employ a fourwire multigrounded neutral (MGN) design. This paper has explained the inherent characteristics of multigrounded threephase fourwire distribution systems under unbalanced
situations. As a result, the mechanism of voltage swell and voltage sag in MGN feeders becomes difficult to understand. The simulation
tool that has been used in this paper is MATLAB under Windows software. In this paper the equivalent model of a fullscale multigrounded
distribution system implemented by MATLAB is
introduced. The results are expected to help utility engineers to understand the impact of MGN on distribution system operations.
