why we use copper earthing for neutral while for body GI.
Answer / mayur m budh
The neutral earthing is bound to take the maximum possible fault current all the times, so the least voltage drop and the least step potential is desired, however a body earthing, generally depending on its criticality and most of the times connected at tow diagonally opposite points is the main parallel path other than the body or supporting structure itself to carry away any fault current.
Every design has an advantage and copper is less resistive as compared to ferrous, so lesser cross section is required to connect on the neutral of a bushing or a generator.

I am going to appear RRB Sr. Section Engineer Exam, Electrical. Can you send me previous year questions of RRB Electrical engineer. specially Section Engineer questions. my email id is likerahulworld@gmail.com
What do you mean by power transformer?
neutral earth resistance testing is it possible for transformer while in load condition
what will happen if i commission a transformer without connecting the neutral?
Our Alternator nameplate specifies a power factor of 0.8. When the Alternator is on light load, the bus bar voltage rises to 11240 volts, whereas the standard value is 10500 volts. Is it ok to increase the power factor to 0.85 or 0.9. I am afraid because the power factor on the name plate is only 0.8 ?

Why only mesh earthing is used in G.S.S.?
I want Primary side delta and Sec side Star connection transformer . but i have received Star - Star transformer ,shall i use the same transformer by giving the only 3 ph on Primary side without Neutral connection on the Starpoint.
How can I model an open-delta ground transformer for a network supplied by 4 unit GTG and power transformer in ETAP?
