what is neutral grounding? why is it required? what is
neutral grounding resistor and how is its value calculated??

@ Pankaj:
"The reason of solid grounding in LV system is that the
amount of earth fault current is very less e.g. for a
single phase to earth fault in a 415V 3 phase system, the
earth fault current is only 240A (considering earthing
resistance 1 Ohm). Whereas in 11kV system, the amount of
fault current will be 6351A. Hence resistance/impedance is
added to reduce the current to a safe value e.g. a 1250 Ohm
resistance in 11kV system limits the fault current to 5A"
i would like to differ in this point of yours. the LG fault
current in a system is never very less. it usually amounts
almost equal to the phase fault current or even more. I can
say this coz i have conducted short circuit studies for many
industrial plants where the LV system is solidly grounded.

As we use capacitor bank in 3ph ckt to improve PF, can we use capacitor in single ph domestric use, in house we have Fan,Mixer,electric cooker,iron,tube choke they also lag the system,because it is inductive load. if it is possible to improve PF of single ph system-- if yes- type of capacitor to be used,connection diagram, working in detail. if no-- list it.
