Methods of Neutral-Point Connection (1) Power Automation Progress. It‘s that simple.
? Isolated or high ohmic grounded
Advantage: Disadvantage:
Small fault currents High transient overvoltage at intermittent ground faults (2.5 – 3.5 ) Vph-E
< 10 A
Standard application ? Compensated or reactive grounded
Advantage: Disadvantage:
Small fault currents on the fault location Transient overvoltage (, 3I0> ? Direction (? 3V0, 3I0)
