Neutral Grounding: Which Transformer is Best?

07/06/2007 3:20 AM

For neutral grounding of MV 6.6kV existing ungrounded systed of 30 years old, which one is the best technically and commercially.

1. Neutral Grounding by Zig-Zag transformer with resistance at neutral of transformer to limit current to 300A.

2. Use WyeOpen delta Transformer with resistance in open delta secondary and limit current to 10A.

Either system will work, I would prefer the Zig Zag connection, but it may be more difficult to find a transformer that can be configured in the zig zag connection. Both systems have been used for many years. I have forgotten the calculations for the current limiting resistors but your numbers look reasonable. I think that both configurations require the windings to be on one core. The WYE/open Delta may require adding a bushing for the open delta winding connection. Perhaps the cost and availability will become your deciding criteria.

The best Transformer(TM) by all accounts is Soundwave.

  • Great weapon
  • Transforms into a boom box that even a kid could pick up
  • Robot mode is bigger and taller than most other Decipticons
  • Has army of killer tape Decepticons - Ravage, Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw...
  • Cool robot voice
