in 11kv generators the neutral point is connected to earth via earth coil while in the 33 / 11 kv transformer the neutral point is connected to earth via earth resistor why? 



in 11kv generators the neutral point is connected to earth via earth coil while in the 33 / 11 kv tr..

Answer / vikas

This is neutral earthing concept. Normally for the generators of higher ratings we connect neutral to ground through a coil (peter son coil) to reduce the heavy fault current if fault occurred in the generators (Ph-Ph to fault Ph-body fault etc). Same concept for the transformer also but resistance grounding is sufficient for the 33/11kv transformer.

19 Answers   Maytas,


We say that if voltage in a power system is increased,for a constant power the current will decrease (by P=VI). isn't this in disagreement with the ohms law(I propotional V;resistant const.).Since the resistance of transmission lines remains constant,shouldn't inc in voltage cause inc in current across the transmission line? I have read many articles across the net but still couldn't this figure this out. :( Guyz plz assist me with dis..:)..
