Earth Connected to Neutral on Transformer Installation, Beacuse if Suppose fault current apper in circuit that time the current want to ground,If No Earth For Neutal Means it will affect the transformer windings only.

Answer / pradeep
In fact, transformer neutral is grounded for a star connected winding.
there are several reasons for neutral grounding in a transformer.
1. the main reason is to avoid automatic neutral shifting problem due to unbalanced loading.
2. Neutral can also be grounded to introduce the protections related to earth faults. So that the internal/external earth faults can be identified in the first instant in order to isolate the faulty circuit as faster as we can.
3. Neutral grounding can also be done through a series resistor/reactor or a transformer to limit the fault below certain level and to avoid the problem of "Arcing grounds"
4. Personal safety
5. Reduced magnitude of transient over voltages
And so on...!!

If we need4× 50mm sq cable but it's not available so we can pull 4×25mm sq 2cables
sigal phase supply is 230 v ac two phase supply is 415 v ac why three phase supply is 415 v ac why not 690 v ac
differentiate PLC,DCS,SCADA?
what will be the min and max voltage flow from neutral to earth?
What is the normal value of delta in rotor angle stability or transient stability? Why it selected so?
Explain what is clipper and clamper circuits?
is there any role of power factor with frequency variation? and how we can manage the frequency variation?
how unidirectional torque is produced in DC motor?
We normally make oil soak pits under Transformers. Oil from soak pit goes to collection pit. We provide granules/pebbles under transformers. My question is weather granules/ pebbles to be filled in soak pit or not? if yes upto what level?
pls tell what are doing the three phase motor star and delta connetion with circuit diagram and control wiring .
we have require a Motor (1500kW, 6.6kV, 50Hz) which shall operate at 1500rpm during 30min and after it shall run on 500rpm during 15min. The same cycle shall be repetitive during the whole working days. Which method is best and economic to achieve such type of task. VFD, VVFD, Pole changing motor etc.
Explain why machinery used on a.c supply is usually rated in KVA instead of KW?
