RC Wilson
I started this thread as a result of my involvement with an existing system that is configured precisely as you described in your previous post, ?Most MV systems are 3P3W with each transformer and generator neutral grounded independently. When a transformer or generator is off line it does not contribute any fault current. The fault level varies with the number of sources in parallel.?
I guess now I am suffering the from the problems with these systems that you warn about in the first sentence of your previous post, ?The change in ground fault current as additional sources are paralleled is why most practical systems use either a single ground point or disconnect switches on the generators' neutral resistors.?
There is no way, I?ll get disconnects added to the resistors as you described, so I think I?m stuck with dealing with the variable SLG fault current (400-5800A).
