Answer / prw

The earths of each alternator must not be connected at the
same time because this will result in third harmonic
current flowing causing excessive heating. The earth should
be switched so that only one earth is connected to ground

Answer / sudheer

if two alternators running parallel and both alternators
neutral grounded by one earthing strip, there is chance of
circulating current. because the unbalanced current flow
through the neutral of one alt.to second alt.by the neutral.
if both alternators earthing is separate , then no chance
of circulating current.

While connecting the flood light plug on to the 415 V distribution panel,there was spark and the cable got burnt. Three ignitors of the flood light also burnt of. The lamps are of 400 W (total 6 lamps) connected through 1.5 mm2 cable. The plug was immediately removed from the circuit. There was a 30 mA RCD connected and a 250 A MCCB; however both did not trip. What could be the possible reasons for the circuit devices not to trip?Can someone assist please. Additional info if needed can be provided.
