ABSTRACT:-
Normally power systems and net works are operated under variable omple! stresses."n power systems t#e $aults are not avodable even a$ter taking utmost are at every stage$rom planning to maintainane. T#e grounding o$ a iruit redues potential stresses under $ault ondition. %ower $eeding $rom delta delta or i$ t#ere is no aessibility $or star onneted trans$ormers oasionally s#orted to ground is very ommon-un-intentional grounding ours any w#ere $rom t#e $eeding system to utili&ation e'uipment T#e main ob(etive o$ grounding neutral is to make a s#ort iruit urrent su$$iient in magnitude $or t#e relay ation. T#is artile restrited to &ig-&ag type wit# oil $illed trans$ormers. T#e neutral point is usually available at every voltage level $rom generator to trans$ormers. "n t#e absene o$ a power trans$ormer o$ suitable apaity) onnetion and design a separate grounding trans$ormer an be used . T#ey are indutive devies intended primarily to provide a neutral point $or grounding purpose. T#e main purpose o$ t#is paper is to disuss about t#e di$$erene between *art#ing trans$ormer and %ower trans$ormer and to disuss about t#e designing o$ eart# trans$ormers.
"NTR+,UCT"+N:A trans$ormer is a devie w#i# eletromagnetially trans$ers A.C. voltage $rom one level to anot#er level. An eart#ing trans$ormer is a trans$ormer primarily to provide a neutral point $or grounding purpose. T#e sole duty o$ t#e grounding trans$ormer is to pass ground urrent during an eart# $ault.) and it arries no use$ul load. T#e desirable 'uantities o$ an eart#ing trans$ormer are low &ero impedane and low losses no load losses. www.Uandistar.org
