                                  Fig. 6.23, upon failure of an ECP, any other earthed metal parts (i.e.,
                                  ECPs and EXCPs) simultaneously attain the same value of fault po-
                                  tential, even if healthy.
                                     This “signature” feature of the TT systems prevents the appear-
                                  ance of dangerous potential differences among grounded metal parts.

                                  potential upon ground faults.
