Difference between Earthing Reactor and Earthing Transformer
Difference between Earthing Reactor and Earthing Transformer
(OP)
Hello All.
We are installing a 150MVA 330/132/33kV Y/Y/D Transformer. Is using an Earthing Transformer and Earthing Reactor together appropriate on the Tertiary winding for protection?

RE: Difference between Earthing Reactor and Earthing Transformer
I have seen Resistor being connected to the neutral of the zigzag transformer but not reactor.
So, Zigzag earthing transformer and Earthing resistor are used together. Zigzag transformer to provide earth reference to the unearthed system and the neutral earthing resistor to limit the magnitude of the earth fault current in the system.

The earthing Transformer connects to the three phase grid to provide a single phase ground reference.
The Earthing impedance limits the ground fault current.
