WHY POLARITY TEST OF CT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN SWITCHGEAR..

Answer / raghavendran.r

CT works on subtractive polarity.It is essential for
reducing the flux build up in the CT secondary, otherwise
immense flux build up will cause insulation burn out.Also
the CT secondary should not be left open.

The other power transformers work on additive polarity
principle.Hence it is required to check the polarity.

WHY POLARITY TEST OF CT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN SWITCHGEAR..

Answer / anand

Polarity Test is needed for Ct's because if polarities are not properly matched (Subtractive generally),relays which were based on connections of ct will maloperate(E/L Stability)and hence the lines will unnecessary trip....

WHY POLARITY TEST OF CT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN SWITCHGEAR..

Answer / naresh chandra jha

to check that mmf is in additive polarity or subtractive ,
polarity polarity test is important because in case of
additive polarity (primary mmf and secondary mmf in same
direction direction ) insulation may get damage .

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.
