Grounding Transformers are intended to establish an artificial neutral point for ungrounded three phase power systems.
The kVA rating of an earthing transformer is contingent upon the normal line-to-neutral voltage and the magnitude of fault current for a specified duration, typically ranging from seconds to minutes. In the event of line-toground faults, these transformers offer a direct path for fault currents to ground, thereby constraining fault currents and transient over-voltages.
Grounding Transformers typically handle short-circuit ground current until the circuit breaker resolves the fault. Consequently, they are equipped with short-time ratings. We have hermetic type, dry type and oil type transformers.
