Phase Voltage Unbalance in Three-Phase System

Causes of Phase Voltage Unbalance Most utilities use four-wire grounded-wye distribution systems. This is to connect single-phase distribution transformers to phase-to-neutral to supply single-phase loads, such as residences and street lights. Variations in single-phase loading cause the currents in the

Understanding of Generator Grounding

Introduction A common practice is to ground all types of generators through some form of external impedance. The purpose of this grounding is: to limit the mechanical stresses and fault damage in the machine to limit transient voltages during faults
