Earth Connected to Neutral on Transformer Installation, Beacuse if Suppose fault current apper in circuit that time the current want to ground,If No Earth For Neutal Means it will affect the transformer windings only.

Answer / pradeep
In fact, transformer neutral is grounded for a star connected winding.
there are several reasons for neutral grounding in a transformer.
1. the main reason is to avoid automatic neutral shifting problem due to unbalanced loading.
2. Neutral can also be grounded to introduce the protections related to earth faults. So that the internal/external earth faults can be identified in the first instant in order to isolate the faulty circuit as faster as we can.
3. Neutral grounding can also be done through a series resistor/reactor or a transformer to limit the fault below certain level and to avoid the problem of "Arcing grounds"
4. Personal safety
5. Reduced magnitude of transient over voltages
And so on...!!

my 10 hp submersible pump is tripping when connected through ELCB.I have checked the megger value of the coil's with body.It was found to be 0.2mega ohm.that is leakage is there.But when connected to mccb it is not tripping.no leakage current in the motor.Is it safe to connect to mccb? what are the problem's will arise if future?also tell me in ELCB no neutral is connected to motor.than how ELCB was working?
