Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of low-impedance grounding?

  • To eliminate the need for reactors or resistors in the system neutral
  • To limit the fault current and permit selective protective relaying (correct)
  • To increase the fault current to match the power system impedances
  • To increase the line-to-neutral equipment insulation requirements
  • What is the typical location of a low-impedance grounding device in a distribution station?

  • In the primary of the delta-wye supply transformer
  • In the secondary of the wye-delta supply transformer
  • In the neutral of the delta-wye supply transformer (correct)
  • In the neutral of the wye-delta supply transformer
  • What is the advantage of using line-to-neutral equipment insulation in a low-impedance grounded system?

  • It increases the fault current rating
  • It is not affected by the ground faults (correct)
  • It reduces the cost of the overall system
  • It provides a higher level of protection
  • What is the purpose of a wye-grounded-delta transformer or a zigzag transformer in a low-impedance grounding system?
