Earthing transformers
Earthing transformers are classified as standard reactors. An earthing transformer (neutral coupler) is a three-phase transformer connected to the power system to provide a neutral connection for earthing, either directly or via impedance. The earthing transformers may, in addition, supply a local auxiliary load.
During single-phase faults, the reactor limits the fault current in the neutral, and the restoration of the power line is improved. According to the IEC 60076-6 standard, the neutral-earthing reactor is connected between the neutral of a power system and the earth to limit the line to earth current under system earth fault conditions to the desired value.
The earthing transformer creates a neutral point for a network. ZN connection is usually applied. Z connection provides linear and specified zero sequence impedance. YN+d can also be applied.
