NGT & NGR Sizing Calculation

1) The document provides calculations to size the neutral grounding transformer and neutral grounding resistor for a power plant project with two 300 MW units. 2) It calculates the necessary kVA rating of the neutral grounding transformer to be 55 kVA based on the total charging current under field forcing conditions. 3) It also calculates the necessary resistance value of the neutral grounding resistor to be 0.222 ohms based on the transformer parameters and required current in the secondary of the neutral grounding transformer.

Sizing of neutral grounding transformer and neutral grounding resistor for STG

1. Calculation for sizing of neutral grounding transformer


Input data:

Capacitance of generator winding C1 := 0.225 micro Farad

Capacitance of busduct C2 := 0.06 micro Farad

Capacitance of generator transformer LV winding C3 := 0.004 micro Farad

Surge capacitor in PT cubicle C4 := 0.25 micro Farad
