Why and which type of tertiary winding is used in most of the power transformer?..

Answer / iamdon

The primary and secondary windings are used for normal
voltage/current transformation where as the tertiary
winding is used for following special purposes

1)Supply to substation auxiliaries.
2)Connecting static capacitors/synchronous condenser etc

The tertiary winding is connected in delta to allow the
flow of zero sequence current in the tertiary loop in the
case of unbalance.

This is about the recent problem that we have faced in our project site. We have 6/7.5 MVA. 66/11kV three phase star - star power transformer. The neutral was solidly connected to the earthing mat. But because of high resistance of earthing mat (130 ohm on LV and 180 ohm on HV), one day LV side neutral earthing conductor melted and we had a huge damage. Can any one plz tell me what might happen when we connect power transformer neutral to the earthing mat which has high resistance (>100 ohm ) ?????
