    Neutrals on grid connected generators

    Hi, I have read every single thread related to generator neutral grounding and not grounding, third harmonics, circulating currents etc. I've read through Chapter 19 of Westinghouse T&D. I'm not sure if it is my inability to understand, the different regulations or simply different site setups...

    High neutral currents when synchronized with the grid.

    Hello there. I have an issue that has been there for a while, but I dont think I can ignore it any more since some caps from the power factor correction gear blew up a while back. Another problem which can be related to this is the current from the generators jumping radically between 900A and...

    Genset and MV Protectioin

    Hi there. We have a 500kW genset connected to a 0.415kV/11kV wye/delta transformer. We operate in parallel with the grid, and at this stage due to the switchgear setup and lack of transfer switches we never operate in island mode. We have a Deif GPU 3 unit overlooking the protection of the...

    Generator.Random Current Fluctuations once Paralleled with the Grid

    Good day. We are in the process of commissioning a 625kVA (at 0.8 PF) natural gas reciprocating synchronous genset. The genset is connected on the LV side of a 1500kVA step up/down transformer.(11kV > 415V). For the most part our plant will be consuming the electricity but at some stages we...
