I have a 2MVA 13.8kV/480V delta-wye transformer. The NEC230.95 asks for ground fault relay on the service disconnects up to 600V. Butservice is 13.8kV primary of transformer which is more than 600V, so I guessthe ground fault relay should be installed on the secondary of the transformerbecause secondary of transformer is acting as main service feeder here.
Will it be possible to use the same over current relay(like Schweitzer 551) on both the primary and secondary side of the transformer?In this case on primary, the 50/51 functions can be enabled and 50G/51G disabled.And on secondary the 50/51 functions can be disabled and 50G/51G functionsenabled. Should zero sequence CT be used for the GF relay, or the residual CTis ok?
Does NEC require both 50G and 51G functions forservices up to 600V, or only 51G is enough? When we use ground fault relay(50G/51G), should it be plotted on the TCC chart together with other over currentprotection devices? Thanks
