    What Is Earthing Transformer or Grounding Transformer

    Uploaded by

    Earthing or grounding transformers are used to create an artificial neutral point for delta connected systems that do not have a directly accessible neutral point. They work by using a zigzag winding configuration that cancels out the magnetic flux from fault currents, allowing the currents to flow without impedance. This allows rated supply voltages to be maintained during both normal and fault conditions. The rated voltage of an earthing transformer is the line-to-line voltage of the system, and the current rating is the maximum neutral current it is designed to carry safely during a fault for a specified time, typically 30 seconds.

    What is Earthing Transformer or

    Grounding Transformer
    Stability on External Earth Fault(E/F) on Delta Side of Star-
    Delta Power Transformer
    If the earthing transformer on the Delta Side is outsides the Zone
    of protection the Earth Fault(E/F)in the delta system outside Current
    Transformer(CT) locations would produce current distributions as
    shown which circulate within the differential CT secondaries and is
    kept out of operating coils.
    Zig-Zag or inter connected star grounding transformer has
    normal magnetising impedance of high value but for E/F, currents
    flow in windings of the same - core in such a manner that the
    ampere turn cancel and hence offer lower impedance.
    In cases where the neutral point of three phase system is not
    accessible like the system connected to the delta connected side of
    a electrical power transformer, an artificial neutral point may be
    created with help of a zigzag connected earthing transformer.
    This is a core type transformer with three limbs. Every phase
    winding in zigzag connection is divided into two equal halves. One
    half of which is wound on one limb and other half is wound on
    another limb of the core of transformer.
    1st half of Red phase winding is wound on the 1st limb of the core
    and 2nd half of same Red phase is wound on 3rd limb.
    1st half of Yellow phase winding is wound on the 2nd limb of the
    core and 2nd half of same Yellow phase is wound on 1st limb.
    1st half of Blue phase winding is wound on the 3rd limb of the core
    and 2nd half of same Blue phase is wound on 2nd limb.
    End point of all three winding ultimately connected together and
    forms a common neutral point. Now if any fault occurs at any of the
    phases in delta connected system, the zero sequence fault current
    has close path of circulating through earth as shown in the figure.
    In normal condition of the system, the voltage across the winding of
    the earthing transformer is 1/√3 times of rated per phase voltage of
    the system. But when single line to ground fault occurs on any
    phase of the system, as shown in the figure, zero sequence
    component of the earth fault current flows in the earth and returns
    to the electrical power system by way of earth star point of the
    earthing transformer. It gets divided equally in all the three
    phases. Hence, as shown in the figure, the currents in the two
    different halves of two windings in the same limb of the core flow in
    opposite directions.
    And therefore the magnetic flux set up by these two currents will
    oppose and neutralize each other. As there is no increase in flux due
    to fault current, there is no change of dφ/dt means no choking
    effect occurs to impede the flow of fault current. So it can be
    concluded like that, the zigzag type earthing or grounding
    transformer maintains the rated supply voltage at normal current
    as well as when a solid single line to ground fault current flows
    through it.
    The rated voltage of an earthing or grounding transformer is the
    line to line voltage on which it is intended to be used. Current rating
    of this transformer is the maximum neutral current in Amperes that
    the transformer is designed to carry in fault condition for a specific
    time. Generally the time interval, for which transformer designed to
    carry the maximum fault current through it safely, is taken as 30
    second.
