Grounding Transformers [ZN (Zigzag), ZNyn, YNd(open), Ii0]


Grounding Transformers are designed to provide an artificial, neutral point for ungrounded three phase power systems.

During the line-to-ground faults, grounding transformers provide an easy path to ground faults, thus limit the fault currents and transient over-voltages.

Grounding transformers normally carry short-circuit ground current until the circuit breaker clears the fault. Therefore, they have short time ratings.

The kVA rating of a earthing transformer depends on the normal line-to-neutral voltage and the fault current value for a specified time, such as seconds to minutes.
