What will be happend if we not ground CT secondary?..

If the secondary of the CT is not grounded or short circuited
then the secondary current will become zero hence the ampere
turns produced by secondary will oppose the ampere turns of
primary(i.e brings to zero). So, there is no counter m.m.f so
high flux is produced in the core thus overheating of core is
produced. Similarly high e.m.f will be produced both in
primary and secondary this will damage the insulation of
winding. Thus for safe operation for the operator the
secondary must be grounded properly

Answer / k.prakashchandra

One terminal of secondary of CT is earthed to remove the
influence of high voltage of primary on secondary due to
inherent capacitance between them .

In our factory so many iron pillors are exists for supporting the shed/Hangar. If do more no of earthings at one piller instead of doing more earth pits in many locations and running earth strip around the hanger, I can save the money. Please suggest this method is acceptable as per Is specifications though the Earth resitance of the farthest piller is with in the limits as per IS specifications.
