Sizing of neutral grounding transformer and neutral grounding resistor for STG

1. Calculation for sizing of neutral grounding transformer

Input data:

Capacitance of generator winding C1 := 0.225 micro Farad

Capacitance of busduct C2 := 0.06 micro Farad

Capacitance of generator transformer LV winding C3 := 0.004 micro Farad

Surge capacitor in PT cubicle C4 := 0.25 micro Farad

Calculation :

Total capacitance C := C1 + C2 + C3 + C4

kVA = 152.511506

Since , incase of Earth fault, unit will be tripped with in a Short time , Say 5 minute

Over load factor for 5 minute duty = 2.8

Neutral Grounding Transformer kVA rating( based on 5 min. duty cycle)

Zpu := 0.04

Base Impedance w.r.t LV Side = Zb

Vs ⋅ Vs
