    Generator/Service Grounding Application

    Thanks alehman, The application is not a double ended service, however, using partial differential ground fault relaying could effectively compensate for the solid neutral connection between the two switchoards through the generator paralleling swgr if 3ph/4wire systems are used. After further...

    Generator/Service Grounding Application

    Thank you for your comments. 1) Local inspectors have indicated the grounded neutral must remain at service switchboards since fed from grounded wye transformer (250-24B) 2) If switchboards remain as 3ph/4w with no neutral loads. I would plan to connect the paralleled generators to each...

    Generator/Service Grounding Application

    Background: I am involved with an existing data center project with following equip: (1) 12.47kv / 277/480 delta wye utility transformer connected to 3ph/4w, 3,000A service switchboards "1" and "2"(swbd 2 currently fed from swbd 1 via breaker) Currently two generators (only one on-line at a...
