1)we r having one problem .one dry type
transformer(6.6KV/433V)is taking high magnetizing current on
delta connected HV side of "U" phase when compared to other
two phases.could any body tell the reason why it is happening?
2)why CT secondary side protection core has got higher
winding resistance when compared to that of metering core of
same CT?

Answer / tanvir s.

Answerin ur 2nd query:
As we kno the flow of current is inversely proportional to the the resistance. Hence a lower resistance winding on the metering core of the CT would ensure a sensitive/accurate current(ampere) reading. Following the same principle the protection core has high resistance to limit the flow of over current and step it down to the calibration of the metering side.
Pls feel free to correct me if i am wrong or not clear

Answer / mohamed

1.Check for no of turns ratio
2.check for phase angle difference
Sec side of CT always handle more current comparing to primary side

Assuming that a dedicated neutral earthing transformer is provided for each GT generator, when the two generators are running in parallel, has consideration been given that the earth fault current from one generator stator winding be split between the two neutral earthing transformers? If so, what adverse impact will this have on the operation of the 59N and 27TN devices?

Dear Sir, we met a disaster with our 62.5 kva genset, after rewinding we informed by our contract engg that due to return current coming in neutral & impropper earthing this happend. But after all set up & load balance we checked & found again we have about 20 to 32 amp return current on neutral. we have 12 airconditioner + 12 mini fridge on single phase line. Pl suggest any idea to solved this problem
