I have connected 04nos. earthings to a transformer through
04nos. earthing pits seperately. 02nos. earthings are
connected to T/F body, and 02nos. earthings are connected to
T/F neutral.T/F capacity is 2000KVA, 11KV/415V. But after
completing of 02 years successful operation ,we are
facing following problems-
1. CT/PT occured blast one time
2. HT cable box occured blast two times
3. One body earthing strip and one neutral earthing strip of
transformer are overlapping at some places. Whenever these
two strips are pressed at overlapped points, they made spark.
What is the reason of spark?
Please explain the reason & rectification of above problems

Answer / k.bhaskar
I think your neutral earth pits resistance is not
good,ensure each earth pit resistance with out grid.The
reason for sparking may be body earth is good and some
potential is there in the neutral path.
Second ensure transformer core channel to earth connection
(inside).Measure the winding resistance and unbalance load
distribution may also cause developing voltage in Neutral.

Answer / ullas
the answer follows.
1. ct/pt unit blast doesn't relate with the problem. it may
due to its poor quality , or some other reasons.
2. ht cable end box blast can be occured in so many ways.
may be due to rain water entered in to the end box leading
to short circuit the phases.
or due to poor quality,etc maybe the reason.
you can do one thing.
please disconnect the earthing of ht cable armour either at
transformer side or at the double pole structure.
3. this sparking indicated that your transformer neutral is
no longer maintains zero potential.
so please first measure the voltage of neutral.
this is done by inserting a spike five meters from the
transformer and take this terminal as earth terminal of
zero potential. and between this terminal and transformer
neutral measure the voltage developed.
if it is indicating a sufficient voltage, then it is true
that your neutral is shifted from its zero position.
if there is any fuse used in the neutral circuit, change
it in to a link.
check the whole circuit for any abnormal conditions.

Answer / elangeswaran
pl check the type of load connected and if the secondary is
feeding a system of two sources with a buscoupler(three
pole) and neutral interconnected bus ultimatly neutral
voltage is above allowable level.

Answer / siva kumar
because of improper earthing the transformer neutral voltage may raise to abnormal level and may cause failure of CT/PT sets.
The star point you made on secondaries of CT, should be made at the equipement only and connected to earth to avoid transfer potential.
If you have not integrated your earth pits,
connect all the four earth pits with 50X8 GI flat.
now check earth pit resistance is with in limits.

why after termination of HT cable armoured earth connected one end, why not connect other end.pls tell me correct answer.
as we know that N=120f/P speed of an im can be controled only through changing no if poles, can we control by changing the frequncy????
why used in starter in tube ligtht circuit.
