XCt
A per IEEE C62.92.02 - 1989, The grounding resistor is sized so that the ratio between Capacitive Reactance (XCt) and effective
resistance (Req) between the generator neutral and ground is 1. Hence, Req = XCt
Resistance value required at secondary side, Rsec = Req/N^2

Note:
As per TCE/Energn contract the ground fault limiting current for generator neutral is 1A. As per system
capacitance considered (As per above calculation), The capacitive current value is 7.275Amps. But according to the
design philosophy the resistive component of the ground fault current should be greater than or equal to
capacitive component, to minimize the voltage surges. Hence 1A is not a realistic figure as a limiting current for
generator nuetral
