NEUTRAL GROUNDING TUTORIAL

Example One
Calculate the reactance of Peterson coil suitable for a 33 kV, 3-phase transmission line having a
capacitance to earth of each conductor as 4.5 μF. Assume supply frequency to be 50 Hz.

Solution
Supply frequency, f = 50 Hz

Example Two
A 230 kV, 3-phase, 50 Hz, 200 km transmission line has a capacitance to earth of 0.02 μF/km
per phase. Calculate the inductance and kVA rating of the Peterson coil used for earthing the
above system.

Solution
Supply frequency, f = 50 Hz

Example Three
A 50 Hz overhead line has line to earth capacitance of 1.2 μF. It is desired to use earth fault
neutralizer. Determine the reactance to neutralize the capacitance of (i) 100% of the length of the
line (ii) 90% of the length of the line and (iii) 80% of the length of the line.

Solution

Example Four
A 132 kV, 3-phase, 50 Hz transmission line 200 km long consists of three conductors of
effective diameter 20 mm arranged in a vertical plane with 4 m spacing and regularly transposed.
Find the inductance and kVA rating of the arc suppression coil in the system.

Solution
Radius of conductor 𝑟 = 20/2 = 10 𝑚𝑚 = 0.01 𝑚
Conductor spacing, d = 4 m
