Could be or could be an actual fault or Failing cable/ equipment. There is not enough info provided.

When does it happen? How often does it happen.
What do you do to come back online. What have you checked so far? Anyone else familiar with the system has any opinions?
Settings? System voltage?

I reset the fault on SEPAM SCHNEIDER panel.This fault has happen 3 times last week.i could not check the cable gland due to demand from our customer.
 
How long has this been going on for?

Repeated trips of an engine will damage it, difficult to quantify the relationship between number of trips and damage.

 
This fault was experience last week and last year,but last year the outgoing breaker 2MVA do tripped on PHASE FAULT and engine would'nt shutdown.
