Transformer Cable Capacitance / Phase(c2)= 0003 µ Farad
Surge Arrestor Capacitance / Phase(c3)=0.25 µ Farad
Other Capacitance / Phase(c4)=0 µ Farad
Required for Neutral Earthing Transformer:
Primary Voltage of the Grounding Transformer (Vp) =11KV
Secondary Voltage of the Grounding Transformer (Vs) =240V
Neutral Earthing Transformer % Reactance (X%)=40%
% of Force field condition for Neutral Earthing Transformer (ff) =30%
Neutral Earthing Transformer overloading factor(Of)=2.6
Neutral Earthing Transformer Base KV (Bv) =240V=0.240KV
Calculation:
Phase to Neutral Voltage (Vp1) =SVL /1.732
Phase to Neutral Voltage (Vp1) =11 /1.732 = 6.35 KV
Phase to Neutral Voltage under Force Field Condition (Vf) =Vp +
(Vpxff)
Phase to Neutral Voltage under Force Field Condition (Vf)=6.35+ (6.35×30%)
