I have a question regarding ground fault protection.
We are installing emergency power distribution. We are transforming from 600V to 4160V, then back down, to power some equipment that is far away from the emergency generator. XFMs are delta to resistance grounded Y.
We are installing the 600V cable for 500A and the 4160V cable for 75A.
My question is:
Is ground fault protection necessary for this kind of setup? For the 4160V or the 600V equipment? I'm in Canada, but NEC references (and quotes!) would still be helpful for some guidance at least, as I've never done this kind of thing before.
Thanks in advance.
Ron
