HOW TO FIND OUT 1. LINE CURRENT, 2. PHASE CURRENT IN AN
ALTERNATOR / TRANSFORMER WHICH IS FEEDING A I)STAR LOAD ii)
DELTA LOAD, USING A CLAMP METER.

NORMALLY WHEN WE USE CLAMP METER IN A DG SET THEN WHAT DO
WE GET?? PHASE CURRENT OR LINE CURRENT.

Answer Posted / sudheer

line current means the current flowing through the AC
supply lines.phase current means current flowing through
each phases like R or Y or B phases.relation between line &
phae currents are

star connected system: phase current =linecurrent
delta connected system: phase current ={ linecurrent/√3}

for balanced 3Ф 4W system current flowing through the
neutral will be sum of phase currentsand will equal to zero.
ie Ir+Iy+Ib =0 =In

Is This Answer Correct ?    25 Yes 15 No

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
