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.

Sir we have 12.5 MVA(110/11KV) transformer (Y-Y) connected,which tripped showing earth fault,when we charged transformer it stood OK ,but on connecting 11 KV feeders it tripped showing earth fault.our service engineers found that the B phase and R phase phase connecting to neutral broken from HV OLTC(on load tap changer),and R phase and Neutral is ok.Dissolved gas analysis shows that accetline content is high,tan delta value is 12.My dout is it is an internal fault of transformer,why REF or diffrential relay is not acted?
