Dear all,
I have come across a curious fault in a system on 11kv 3 phase 3 wire, supplied from the electricity company to distribution transformer 200kva - 275 mtr. away, & connected by 3c * 150 sq mm XLPE UE grade Under ground cable.
During a day time, operations are normal, voltages are normal - 400V 3 phase, 4 wire on LT side. Power capacitors of 20kvar * 3 nos. are connected fixed to thr distribution board. & are continuously ON.
We have provided a neutral contactor with the mains MCCB for DG change over.
What we have found that the coil of the Neutral contactor burns frequently, abnormally. Definitely, due to over voltages.
What could be the reason of such over voltages?
