What is derating?, Why it is necessary, it is same for all means for drives, motors,and cables...

Answer / quratulain javaid

Derating is design process that can make significant contribution to reliability.The reliability of electrical/electronic component decrease when they operate at high stress level.These stresses are primarily temperature, voltage, current & power dissipation

In electrical derating means lowering the electrical capabilityof electrical apparatus'.In electronics derating is a operation of a device at less than its rated maximum power in order to prolong life.So it is necessary to know the derating factor for each component type related to one critical condition to run/operate in safe level.

We have 11kV/110V three phase indoor potential transformer in 66/11kV Sub-station, where the failure of PT is frequently happening and the rating of the PT is 0.2 class accuracy, with primary star and seconday (two cores) star connected. Some experts has suggested to not to connect the PT Primary neutral to the ground because when transformer neutal NCT connection is loose; the faulty current will flow through the PT primary neutral, resulting into failure of PT. My question is: Is it necessary to remove the primary neutral connection of the PT from ground? if not, what would be the reason for failure of PT. Please guide me.
