where do we connect tap of tap changer, to H.V. side or
L.V.side? and why?

Answer Posted / mprajaneb

There are mainly two reasons for this. Normally tap
changers are used to improve the LV side voltages. Such
cases the taps are provided on the HV side.
LV voltage= (HV voltage*Nlv/Nhv). So by reducing the number
of turns of the hv side we can increase the lv side voltage.
Also current in hv side is less compared to lv side and
thus the arcing is less for hv side tap changers.

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.

Hello everyone, somebody knows what is a "surplice power" ? The hole phrase is: "This rating is appropriate for a generator set paralleled with an infinite bus e.g. a national electrical supply network or grid where the generator set is run at 100% load, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any surplice power is exported into the grid" Thanks in advance.
