What is the function of the serge absorber?..

Answer / raul

Surge absorbers are protective devices used to absorb the
complete surge i,e. due to lightening surge or any
transient surge in the system..........unlike the
lightening arrestor in which a non-linear resistor is
provided which provides a low resistance path to the
dangerously high voltages on the system to the earth......

What is the function of the serge absorber?..

Answer / s

surge absorber are used substaions. when surge due to
lightining enter in substaion fron line side surge absorber
provides low resistance path them to ground and prevents
the substaion from these surges.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
