CT location on 13.2kV side should be below tap point for correct operation of differential protection. Further, relay current at full load current on 13.2kV side will be 328A, which is too high to handle and not a good option of CT ratio.
It is due to saturation of magnetic core. In steady state, Flux produced in one half cycle is cancelled out by MMF of next half cycle. During charging, we need to close CB at exact point on wave (taking residual magnetism in account) to acheive normal current levels without any inrush...
From this, CT polarity is the probable cause of trip. Checking CT polarity and correcting is the solution.
Further, regarding single point earthing for CT secondary circuit: Generally, one side set of three phase CTs make has siingle point earthing. And other side set of three phase CTs has...
Practically, I have seen one CT failure due to CT open circuit in metering core at 132kV level. In all other cases, there was another current path developed by melting of cables / terminal blocks etc.
violent failure of CT with explosion: It depends, if it is dead tank type CT with oil filled and porcelain housing, pressure developed can explode CT.
In some cases over voltage can create insulation failure of cables, or terminal blocks, causing short circuit of CT secondary. In this case CT is...
DC earth fault locator kits (based on low frequency injection) are avaiable, which does not require isolation to some extent. But it needs expert person to identify exact location.
Are you talking about three positions:
[ol 1]
Disconnector close, Earth switch open
Disconnector open, Earth switch open
Disconnector open, Earth switch close
[/ol]
It has advantage of having only one drive mechanism for both disconnector and earth switch.
Once arc is produced, air is no more insulator. It is chain of ionized particles. Elongation of arc will reduce the current but cannot make it Zero. When arc is extiguished at any current Zero, recovery voltage appearing across ionized particles will re-establish arc, because air does not regain...
Its Phase to Phase Under Voltage start. When it will trip, it will show Trip. Application configuration needs to be checked, as trip contact can be operted from start event.
Yes

Discoonector can be operated when CB and ES is open, and ES can be operated with disconnector open. Mostly interlock bypass is not required for checking operation.
Yes, if interlocked with keys, Keys needs to be moved between ES and disconnector. Bypassing interlocks is also sometimes...
