What is C.T, why it is used and what care should be taken
for that while connecting?

Answer Posted / vishvesh

normally in high voltage line is it not possible to measure
current directly by any instrument for measuring of
protection purpose. CT (current transformer) as the name
suggest step down the value of current to very nominal
stage so that normal instrument can get reading from it.
and with progressive ratio calibration. we can get actual
value of current flowing through the line. also the relays
for the protection are connected with secondary of CT.

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
